Your first visit

Your first visit, minus the mystery.

Seeing someone new when you're already sore can feel daunting. Here's exactly what happens, start to finish.

  1. 1

    The chat

    I’ll ask about what’s bothering you and your medical history, to work out where the problem is and, more importantly, what caused it.

  2. 2

    The tests

    A few simple tests to see how much your joints move and how well your nerves are working.

  3. 3

    The treatment

    Usually some muscle work first to loosen things up, then often an adjustment to get a specific stuck joint moving. Dry needling or stretching if they’ll help. Some positions feel a little awkward. Hang in there.

  4. 4

    About that click

    Totally normal. It’s a change of pressure in the joint. Necks sound louder simply because they’re closer to your ears.

  5. 5

    Afterwards

    Some tenderness is common, from a couple of hours up to 48. You may get exercises to do at home. Please actually do them.

Everyone heals differently. It may take a couple of visits, or a few more, to feel 100%.
