You will be asked for details of your previous medical history. There will be plenty of time to for you to explain what is wrong. After taking a thorough case history, our Chiropractor will perform a comprehensive examination and in-depth biomechanical assessments to find out what is wrong and determine if Chiropractic is likely to help. This will last approx 60mins.
These are taken at our Clinic by your qualified Chiropractor if visual information on your spine or joints is needed.
This will be given at your second visit, if X-rays or further tests are needed. We will explain what is wrong, what can or cannot be done and what you should expect. Then the most appropriate treatment plan for your condition will be outlined. By this time all your questions should be answered to your satisfaction. With consent and if applicable, Chiropractic treatment may commence.
Treatment usually involves precise gentle manipulation, called an 'adjustment', of the spine or other joints. This is combined with advice patient education.
Acute recent conditions often respond quickly and dramatically. Chronic longstanding problems generally take longer to respond. We can help most, though not all, patients even when other approaches have failed.
If your problem has become chronic (longstanding), or re-occurs frequently, you may benefit from periodic check-ups to maintain improvement - much like regular servicing for your car!
New research has shown Chiropractic plus rehabilitative exercise works best for chronic or frequently recurring problems. We employ evidence-based protocols which have been shown to be very effective for improving muscular strength and spinal stability.
Most patients consult us on their own initiative after personal recommendation. Many GP's also refer patients. Where possible it is best to inform your GP.
Most new patients are recommended by previous patients. We appreciate referrals of family and friends and offer a 'refer a friend' scheme. Please ask for more information when visiting.
Most health insurance schemes cover Chiropractic yet individual policies vary. Please check with your insurer. You will need to see certain Chiropractors at Back 2 Balance, Hove, for work undertaken for insurance firms, so please advise us as soon as possible of your insurance arrangements, otherwise you will be charged directly.
Fees are due for payment at each visit. Our pre-payment scheme can save you money off your treatments.
