What happens at your First Chiropractic Appointment
The first time you see a Chiropractor they will ask you to fill out a form detailing your medical history. This gives the Chiropractor an idea of your general health. Several questions will then be asked about your condition to try and understand the problem and if Chiropractic Care is the most appropriate. Questions such as any aggravating factors, type of pain and associated symptoms are asked to help diagnose the problem.
What does a Chiropractic Examination involve?
After the consultation an examination of the relevant area will be performed to first rule out any serious condition and then to help diagnose the problem. Gowns are available for you to wear. By testing your muscles and reflexes it is possible to determine if any nerves are being pinched or what is causing your pain.
Understanding your Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
After the examination has been completed the Chiropractor will then give you a report of findings. This is where a thorough explanation of the condition and the suggested treatment is given to allow you to understand the problem and any risks which may be involved. At this point it is a good idea to ask any questions you may have. Once you are happy with everything it is usual for a treatment to be carried out on the same day. Occasionally it maybe necessary to obtain an X-ray, MRI or further information from your GP before treatment commences.
Chiropractic Treatment Techniques at Attend2Health
Chiropractic treatment varies depending on the problem and also your individual preferences. It often involves safe specific adjustments to free joints and relieve symptoms. It can also involve the use of an activator to achieve the same result or gentle mobilisation techniques. Muscles are also treated at Attend2Health by massage techniques, trigger point therapy and stretching. Although often not the cause of the problem, by releasing tension in the muscles the condition can quickly settle. Home stretches may also be given to speed up recovery and prevent further injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Osteopath and Chiropractor?
Both Osteopaths and Chiropractors are trained to help musculoskeletal conditions such as neck and back pain.
Chiropractors tend to use a wider range of gadgets such as activators, flexion/distraction and blocks as part of their treatment range. However both can be quite similar depending on what extra training they both have completed.
If you are unsure what would be best book a Free 15 minute chat and this can be discussed further.
Is chiropractic care safe for older patients or those with osteoporosis?
Attend2Health’s chiropractors adjust their techniques based on each patient’s age, bone density, and health history. Gentler methods — including the activator tool and soft mobilisation — are used for patients where spinal manipulation is not appropriate. Your medical history form and examination help the chiropractor choose the safest approach.
Do Chiropractors have to click your joints?
A chiropractic manipulation is just one tool chiropractors can use to treat a stiff back for example but they don’t have to manipulate if you would prefer they didn’t. Chiropractors can use a range of techniques to help ease pain in joints and muscles. After an examination they will be able to say what type of treatment would suit you best but you can still say if you would prefer them not to use manipulation.
How many sessions of chiropractic care will I need?
Most patients with an acute problem such as lower back pain see improvement within 2-6 appointments. Chronic conditions or those with longer histories may require more sessions. At your first appointment, your chiropractor will give you an honest estimate based on their findings.
