What to expect
Initial consultation (including first treatment):
- Last up to 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Full medical history taken.
- Thorough physical examination.
- Working diagnosis, treatment plan and initial treatment or referral is discussed.
- Post treatment advice.
Subsequent treatments:
- Lasts up to 30 minutes.
- Discussion.
- Continued treatment, for the cause of pain and discomfort, as well as associated symptoms and/or for general well-being and health maintenance, (usually every 2-4 months).
Patient/practitioner communication is important as we work together to eradicate the main cause of pain and discomfort.
It is usually recommended that a new patient receives between 1 and 3 treatments initially, however the number of treatments required is based on the condition type and the length of time the condition has been present.
Other factors such as age, fitness and body usage may also influence this.
