We have three different appointment types as someone visiting our clinic for the first time. Adult, pregnancy and babies/kids.
The format for an adult new client of Putney Chiropractic, or someone who has not visited us for some time, is as follows:
A full health history is taken looking into the past and present issues that may be related to your presenting problem.
We will perform numerous orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic tests to obtain vital information about the function of your spine and nervous system.
Digital x-rays are an amazing way to assess the areas of wear and tear or alignment challenges that your spine may possess. X-rays will only be taken if clinically indicated and if so may help you understand the cause of problem. If x-rays are taken an extra fee of £80 will be added at the time of your first visit.
Treatment on the first visit. Most first visits do include starting care, unless the chiropractor needs more time to look into your case, assess the x-rays taken or consult with other health professionals.
A similar process as above when you are pregnant. Obviously we never use x-rays when you are pregnant. We are all trained in Websters pregnancy technique and take a more detailed approach to take into consideration all the extra information needed when you are pregnant. Read more about how we could help you while pregnant via our dedicated pregnancy page.
Babies and children also require an element of expertise specific to your baby/child. We have some of our team whose practice is focused on total family health. If you have any questions about babies/kids, who you should see, timing and prices, just pick up the phone on 020 8785 6144. Further information via our dedicated baby, toddler and children page.
On your second visit to us, your chiropractor will correlate all the exam findings, including any digital x-rays taken, with the details of your health history and create a bespoke treatment programme to suit your needs.
We will provide a summary of our findings and a copy of your digital x-rays via email as jpegs (if taken).
Explain clearly and visually the findings from the tests and x-rays.
We will explain what the problem is, what it will take to correct the problem, how long it will take and the costs involved.
An individual plan is recommended and you can decide which course of action best suits your needs.
A re-examination date is set for the future to repeat the tests and show your progress objectively.
It is then time for your first spinal adjustment. This will happen at the end of the report visit and it will start the process of correcting the underlying cause of your problem.
A chiropractor diagnoses and treats problems related to the spine, joints, and nervous system to improve overall movement and function.
No, you can book directly with a chiropractor without a GP referral. However, some private health insurance providers may require a referral before covering treatment.
X-rays are only recommended when clinically necessary to better understand your condition. If required, they help your chiropractor assess spinal alignment and plan the most effective care.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, lifestyle, and goals. Some people seek short-term pain relief, while others choose ongoing care to maintain long-term health and prevent future issues.
The cracking sound during an adjustment is caused by gas being released from the joint, not bones breaking. It's similar to cracking your knuckles and is completely normal and safe.
After an adjustment, light movement such as walking or stretching helps your body adapt. Staying hydrated, eating well, and avoiding prolonged sitting can also improve results.
Treatment packages allow you to pay upfront for multiple sessions at a reduced cost. Each visit deducts a credit from your package, making ongoing care more affordable.
