First Visit
What should I expect on my first visit?History
On your first visit you will fill out a short patient information form. An in depth history of the presenting complaint will be taken as well as looking at your sport/lifestyle/training levels and habits. You will be asked a series of questions to help direct the physical and non physical assessment and subsequent special tests.
Examination
On every clinical visit, all physical and non physical examinations conducted are fully explained by the therapist and with informed consent to proceed by you, the patient. Within the Hampstead chiropractic clinic, we provide a private changing area for our clients. You should wear loose clothing and or sports clothing (including shorts, t-shirt, sports bra etc.), as it makes it easier to be examined and move around during the assessment and exercises. All examinations will consist of various orthopaedic, strength and functional tests. In some cases, further biomechanical and /or postural analysis may be required to diagnose, treat and cure your existing problem.
Treatment
We will give you a synopsis of what we’ve found and will advise you of the most appropriate treatment plan for your condition. With your consent, in most cases treatment will be started on the first visit. In complex cases, additional assessment may be required leaving little time for treatment in the first visit.
A major part of your spinal rehab or sports therapy treatment will be undertaking a home exercise plan as prescribed by your sports therapist. On subsequent sessions, we will monitor how you are progressing with your exercises and modify accordingly until full rehabilitation is completed.
Some sessions may be booked in as spinal rehabilitation and core stability, whereas other times, we may feel a sports massage will be more appropriate. On many occasions, a combination of the two is used. Your practitioner will advise you accordingly as your treatment progresses.
You should arrive about ten minutes early and reserve approximately one hour of time for your appointment.
Testimonials
'My son Matthew was born with an imbalance in the neck and pelvic region. Matthew predominantly looked and turned to the left hand side and had trouble looking to the right. We were very concerned for his overall development. Also the shape of Matthew's head was being affected by his continual lying on his left hand side.
We were really impressed with the treatment we received at the Hampstead Chiropractic Clinic. The Chiropractor was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. All areas linked ti Matthew's condition ere investigated, and we were given excellent advice as to how we might also assist with the ongoing treatment. Matthew was soon able to look both sides with ease which was the improvement we sought. He is also comfortable to lie in any position. We would highly recommend Hampstead Chiropractic Clinic's gentle but effective manner and treatment.
