Your first visit to our studio

Both on the telephone, and when you arrive at the clinic, our assitant, will be more than happy to help you with information and appointments.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. Make sure you do not arrive hungry and drink plenty of pure water before and after your visit. It is best if you do not drink coffee just before the appointment and if you have been taking pain killers, try to avoid taking one at least 4 hours before coming to your chiropractic visit. Wear comfortable clothing and if possible do not wear high heals.

Before you see the doctor of chiropractic, you will be asked to fill in a intake form about your present and past health conditions, including your main problem. Our you can simply download the form from below, fill it at home and bring it with you.

The doctor will also enquire about the kind of work you do in order to understand the physical stress you are under. If you have already had radiographs, cat scans or magnetic resonance scans done within the last five years, bring them with you if you can. If you do not yet have any radiographs etc. at the moment, it is best to wait and let us advise you as to which examinations are most appropriate. On first meeting with the doctor, a full case history will be taken, in order to confirm the type of physical examination which will follow. These two preliminary examinations will enable the chiropractor to evaluate your particular problem and decide on a treatment plan.

The next step is a postural analysis to check out any anomalies which might have an influence on the situation. We spend five years learning in great detail how to analyse the specific movements of each vertebra and all the other joints of the body, together with many other examination techniques such as orthopedic and neurological tests. This enables us to build up a complete picture of your health and gives us the best opportunity to apply the most appropriate and specific care for you.

Please feel free to call and ask if you have any concerns. We understand this is rather different experience and would love to help you to come and feel in ease.
