What can I expect from my first visit?

Your first appointment will be 45 minutes during which time a lot of questions are asked about your condition including:

How the problem started?
What the symptoms are?
Where you feel your symptoms?
What makes them better?
What makes them worse?

This insight into the condition, coupled with an examination of the area, will allow a decision as to which treatment is going to be most effective.

This first session is also important in identifying the issues and establishing a recovery plan which you can also do at home to aid your own receovery.

By the end of the first session, you will have an idea of treaments and techniques which may be used and how long it may take to get you better as quickly, effectively and painlessly as possible.
