Everything you need to know before your first visit — what to expect, common questions, our fees, and how to book.
Your first visit, step by step
Consultation & history
We talk through your symptoms, medical history and goals before any hands-on work begins.
Examination
A physical and postural examination identifies the mechanical cause of your pain, with imaging referred out if needed.
Treatment plan
You’ll leave with a clear plan — and, where appropriate, your first adjustment on day one.
Common questions before a first appointment
Does chiropractic treatment hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. You may notice mild soreness afterwards, similar to a workout, which typically settles within a day.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends entirely on your condition. Some patients feel relief after one or two visits; others with chronic issues follow a longer plan, reviewed regularly.
Is chiropractic safe for back pain?
Yes — our chiropractors are GCC-registered and trained to assess whether chiropractic is appropriate for you, referring you elsewhere if it isn’t.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is required to book — you can come to us directly. Some insurers do require one for reimbursement, so check your policy first.
Can children be treated here?
Yes, we care for patients of all ages with a personalised, whole-body approach — techniques are always adapted to age and comfort.

Prices correct at time of publishing and reviewed periodically.
