What to expect from your first visit

Hopefully you have now watched the treatment video and your mind is at ease but you may have a few questions about your first visit.

The bullet points below should help by guiding you through the first visit steps.  

• A detailed case history will be taken.
• An explanation of chiropractic will be given.
• You may be asked to change into a gown and some orthopaedic and neurological test will be performed.
• The cause behind your discomfort will be explained and a treatment plan outlined (how many treatments and frequency of treatments likely to be needed).
• If you are able to be treated by chiropractic at this stage you will receive your first treatment (You should have seen the video clip already).
• If the diagnosis is not clear or chiropractic is not the best course of action then alternative treatment paths will be discussed e.g. receive an x-ray / see another health professional.

Throughout your time at Derby Family Chiropractic, simple layman's language will be used whenever possible.
