The main aim of your first visit is to determine the cause of your pain and to provide a diagnosis.
This is established by initially interviewing you, asking questions about the pain and gaining an understanding of your general medical history.
Secondly a very thorough examination is carried out which includes the whole of the spine and relevant joints.
You will be asked to undress and wear a gown if necessary so that we can appropriately see the involved area.
When your chiropractor has reached the diagnosis a decision is made to determine whether this condition is suitable for chiropractic treatment.

Chiropractic is a regulated health care profession which specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions which are due to mechanical dysfunction of the spine, joints and muscles.
Treatment consists of gently unlocking the stiff joints with skilled manipulations, known as adjustments.
This may require a short impulse to a joint that results in a 'pop'.
This is simply the sound of bubbles of gas within the fluid of the joint as the pressure is released.
Apart from the adjustment, chiropractors are likely to use a variety of other techniques including massage, ice, ultrasound, taping, specific targeted stretching and muscle rehabilitation.

Apart from the adjustment, chiropractors are likely to use a variety of other techniques including massage, ice, ultrasound, taping, specific targeted stretching and muscle rehabilitation.
This consists of various muscle and joint techniques, such as soft tissue work and manipulation.
Chiropractic manipulation is also called an adjustment, which is a small but fast movement of the restricted joint.
This is sometimes accompanied by a "popping" or "clicking" sound.
This is caused by the release of an air bubble within the joint, which is completely harmless and actually incidental to the treatment.
Treatment is generally painless, although some patients may feel slightly sore if their muscles are very inflamed.
