If you are thinking of making an appointment with one of our Manchester chiropractors but are feeling a little nervous, let us reassure you. The answers to your individual problem will be dealt with in a friendly and professional manner. Our aim is to help you find a natural solution to the aches and pains that are lowering your expectations of a happy and healthy life, one which should be pain free. You may have previously been trying pain relief in terms of medication from the pharmacy, or even your GP, but realised that this is not addressing the root cause of the problem.
The first stages of your treatment and care plan
It all begins with a one to one consultation with your chiropractor who will ask questions about your reason for seeking chiropractic care, how long you have been suffering, is the pain progressing, and of course review your general health. We do ask you to complete a Treatment Form before the consultation begins to give your Manchester chiropractor a general view, so that he can ask relevant questions about your history to gain a deeper understanding. Please advise your chiropractor of all previous injuries, accidents at work, home or traffic related, broken bones, slipped discs or trapped nerves that you have had in the past.
Next your chiropractor will examine you
If you need to be partially undressed your Manchester chiropractor will leave the room. If like some people you are shy about getting undressed, we fully understand, no matter whether your reasons are personal, religious, or cultural. You will always be treated with respect and understanding and in many cases you will be able to keep your clothes on, and you may consider in advance wearing something loose. But at all times your chiropractor will do everything they can to ensure you feel at ease. During this chiropractic assessment, your chiropractor will assess and consider your posture, range of motion and movement, and take into account both the muscles and joints which may be affected or indeed causing your condition.
Further tests
In most cases this examination will include a neurological assessment for trapped or irritated nerves. Further checking for muscle strength, your reflexes, and your sensory nerves. This thorough examination will give your experienced chiropractor at this Manchester Chiro clinic an overall picture not only of the presenting problem but also of your general health.
How long does this take and beginning treatment?
Your initial visit will take up to an hour and allows your chiropractic healthcare professional to form a diagnosis. You may then make an appointment as soon as convenient to you to begin your treatment plan. This may even be arranged immediately as a follow-on appointment on the same day, as your chiropractor knows your need to sort out the problem and leave the pain behind as soon as possible. They are happy to get started on your treatment if they can.
We aim to make your first appointment at Manchester Chiropractors as relaxed and informative as possible, so that together we can take the road to recovery you need.
