The receptionist or chiropractor will explain the cost of the treatment.

A chiropractor’s first concern is to find out what is wrong. They will also check for signs of any serious conditions for which you would need to go to your GP or to hospital.

Depending on your condition you may be manipulated in the spine and limbs to restore movement to the joints. You will be given advice on controlling pain and inflammation. We will also work on the muscles and ligaments using massage, trigger point therapy and dry needling. You will also be given advice on exercising, nutrition and lifestyle and may receive tape to help improve feedback from muscles that have become lazy and joints that are not being supported correctly.

Manipulation involves precisely handling or moving joints of the spine and limbs to restore movement. This involves stretching further than they are currently moving.

Our treatments are 20 minutes long and are £45 with a discount for over 70s.

Some patients can have mild reactions after manipulation or feel tender after the dry needling or exercising the area. The risks of this will be explained to you before treatment commences. If you feel unsure of anything regarding your treatment we are here to listen and help you understand and recover so please don’t hold back.

Treatment is a partnership between us as therapists and you as the patient. If we work together, you will get the best results possible for your particular condition.

Feel free to ask us as many questions as you need to, to be sure that you understand what we have told you. We will then ask for your consent.To help you feel more at ease we may request, or you are free to request a chaperone. If you would prefer no one to be there with you please let us know as well so that your privacy may be maintained.
