On the first visit I will take a detailed case history including a full medical history. Then, depending on the location of the problem I will usually want to make a full examination of the spine or the region where there is pain. This may involve undressing to your underwear or you can wear shorts and a tee shirt or one of our gowns if you prefer. You are welcome to bring a friend or relative with you into the treatment room if it makes you feel more comfortable.
At the end of the first consultation/examination a detailed explanation of the diagnosis and proposed treatment will be given to you. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions about anything that you do not understand about the proposed treatment.
Bring with you a note of any medications (or the medications themselves) either prescribed or over the counter including any homoeopathic or herbal remedies you are using. It will aid in assessing your condition and in reaching a correct diagnosis. |
