What to expect on your first visits
doing some thing new and unfamiliar or unknown can be really daunting and scary. This is can definitely be the case for people trying out chiropractic care for the first time.
If you search the internet, you are likely to get many stories about visits to the chiropractor. Some are great, others are negative, and some fall right in between and If you’ve never been before then it can be hard to know what is fact and what’s not.
we’ve written up what you can expect from your first visits and we’ve shared a video that you can watch below.
1. Initial Consultation & Neuro-Structural Examination
Before your first visit you will need to fill out a form, the Chiropractor will go through your history, diet, exercise, sleep, stress, posture and much more. We'll work together to set some goals going forward and work towards you being the best version of yourself.
2a. Report of Findings
Your chiropractor will give you a full report of the issues and problem areas they found during your consultation. They will recommend a bespoke course of treatment, which you can begin in this appointment if you wish.
2b. Your first adjustment
If you get an adjustment at your first visit, expect a quick and painless procedure in most instances. The chiropractor may push, pull, or twist a section of your body in order to realign any misalignments along the spine. This may be accompanied by a “popping” sound as your joints readjust. The pop is nothing to worry about as it is a completely ordinary side effect. Some even report that this realignment causes instant relief. The instantaneous relief may or may not accompany your first visit, depending on your particular condition and its severity.
