What To Expect

Covid-19 Update

Please contact us before the appointment if you, or anyone in your household, has experienced any symptoms associated with Covid-19. We need to consider the health and welfare of all our clients and would rather not see you if there is any doubt as practitioners work in such close contact.

The wearing of masks is now NOT compulsory. Should you wish to do so, please feel free.

We are acting under the Guidelines of our Governing Body. Where the chiropractor assesses that an individual is symptomatic and meets the case definition or where the potential risk cannot be established, it has been advised that these patients should not be offered a face-to-face consultation.

As a New Patient your chiropractor may be in touch prior to your attendance at the clinic to minimise contact time, simply by taking your clinical history over the phone or even conducting some basic examination procedures can reduce the amount of face-to-face time with the chiropractor.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Initial Consultation

You will be emailed your registration and health history forms in advance through our secure diary and booking sytem, the link is contained within in your appointment confirmation email.

Please complete these prior to attending your appointment. When you arrive at the clinic, you will be greeted by one of our reception team, who ask you to complete the consent and GDPR forms that require a hard signature.

Your chiropractor will soon be ready to see you. The initial consultation is when your chiropractor really gets to listen and understand your current health complaints. They will also find out your personal health goals and what you want to get out of your chiropractic care.

A detailed health history will be taken, not only regarding your current health status but also previous injuries, traumas that may even go back years.

After the history has been completed the physical assessment will take place. You chiropractor will carefully examine the function of your joints, muscles and your nervous system.

Your chiropractor will then compile all the information and present their thoughts, findings and care plan to you in a mini report of findings. Treatment usually happens on the first visit if it is appriopriate. Expect to be offered after care advise and guidance. if imaging is needed treatment might be modified or left until imaging is complete.

X-ray and MRI Referral: If your history indicates that X-rays are necessary we will organise a referral to Horder Healthcare where digital X-rays, MRI and Ultrasound examinations can be obtained.

Report of findings

During this visit, usually your second visit your chiropractor will explain in detail the results of the initial consultation and go through any imaging or further investigations that were required. They will outline your personal care plan which will allow you to regain your health as quickly as possible.

Your chiropractor will of course have their professional opinion on what needs to be done but they will also listen and work with you to help you achieve your goals.

They will inform you fully of the recommended length of your treatment plan, the costs involved and what is required from yourself to create a team environment for healing. If you are happy and want to work with us then your chiropractor will continue with your adjustments.

Follow-up sessions

Each one of these visits builds on the last. Throughout your care at SHC Chiropractic we like to run progress examinations so we both know that things are going in the right direction. We may also advise that other therapies (such as massage, personal training, Yoga or Pilates) be used at certain stages of your care to benefit you further.

These sessions are shorter than the initial consultation and report of findings, however, everybody gets the care that they need. If additional time is required there is no extra fee, or if you feel that you would like more time to discuss an area of your health with your chiropractor, just be sure to let them know and they will arrange that for your next visit.
