What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. So joints and muscles can be manipulated to reduce pain and restore mobility.
What is a Chiropractor? A highly trained and well qualified health professional who has to be registered with the GCC annually. Further information can be obtained by looking at the 'links' web sites on the 'How to find us' page.
Is the cost worth it? Usually clients come to the clinic first when they have considerable pain from a recent injury and have tried various other methods. So relief from pain and in the longer term a regime to strengthen and prevent recurrence is seen by many to be worth the investment.
Does it work? Almost always there is an improvement, and regular check-ups will allow the improvement to continue. Exercises will be recommended to build up muscles that will make the improvement long lasting.
Do I have to undress? It depends upon the injury and treatment. Most Chiropractors will want patients to change into a gown in the private changing cubicles before going into the treatment room..
What actually happens in a consultation and treatment? Your medical history will be discussed before a medical examination is given. Discussion of the possible treatments follows before treatment begins.
Does my General Practitioner have to refer me? No, a referral is not necessary. Although, GPs frequently recommend Chiropractic treatment Chiropractors are primary contact health professionals.
