First Treatment

Your first consultation usually takes just over an hour and involves a full case history being taken. This enables Emma to find out about your lifestyle as well as your presenting complaint. (Gaining a picture of how your body is being used day-to-day will often help the practitioner find out why your body is not functioning correctly.)

The next step involves Emma explaining the reasons for chiropractic treatment and what is involved when she adjusts you and this time also enables you to ask Emma any questions you may have.

Then Emma will conduct a series of orthopaedic and neurological tests to try to ascertain the cause of your problem. As a McTimoney Chiropractor Emma does not take x-rays but if she felt you needed one she would refer you to your GP for further evaluation.

When it is determined that its safe to treat you, a treatment plan will be recommended, discussed and agreed with you. Often Emma will use massage and dry needling techniques to complement the McTimoney treatment, but these techniques are not introduced until the second treatment.
