What to Expect During Your Chiropractic Appointment
It’s completely natural to wonder what will happen during your first chiropractic visit – especially when it comes to things like undressing or having X-rays taken. The good news is that in most cases, you won’t need to undress, and X-rays are rarely required.
Clothing and Comfort
For your comfort and privacy, it’s unlikely that you’ll need to remove any clothing during your chiropractic assessment or treatment. We simply ask that you wear something comfortable.
On the rare occasion that a closer look at a specific area is needed, your chiropractor will always explain why and ensure your dignity is fully respected. Our goal is to make you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your appointment.
X-Rays and Imaging
In most cases, chiropractors can make an accurate assessment based on your medical history, symptoms, and a thorough physical examination. If there’s any reason to believe that X-rays or additional imaging (such as an MRI) might help with diagnosis or treatment planning, we will refer you back to your GP or to the appropriate imaging service.
We only recommend further investigations when absolutely necessary ensuring you receive the most appropriate and evidence-based care for your needs.
