Your First Consultation

The First Chiropractic Consultation: Steps to Recovery

Comprehensive anamnesis

The first consultation starts with an extensive history taking, the anamnesis. We take the time to identify your complaints, medical history and lifestyle. Here, we listen carefully to your experiences and concerns, so that we get a complete picture of your situation.

Prior to this, we ask you to fill out a questionnaire to identify some information in advance. This will be emailed before your appointment and you can fill it out at home.

Thorough physical examination

‍After the anamnesis, we carry out an extensive physical examination. This a includes:

  • Analysis of your posture and movement
  • Neurological and orthopaedic tests
  • Evaluation of the spine and joints

If you have diagnostic images, such as X-rays or MRI's, feel free to bring them so that we can also review them.

Report of findings and treatment plan

Based on the findings from the exam, we clearly explain what is going on. If you understand your symptoms well and know where they come from, you can better assess what you should or should not do in your daily life to accelerate recovery.

Next, we will discuss what the treatment process will look like. This process is fully tailored to your complaints, wishes and availability. Our goal is not only to provide you with quick relief, but also to address the cause of your symptoms.

First treatment

During your first consultation, we usually carry out the first treatment immediately. Chiropractic treatment may include targeted manipulations of the spine or other joints. These manipulations are safe and aim to remove restrictions and restore mobility. Many patients experience relief immediately after treatment.

In addition, we often give tips on how to improve your posture or how to exercise more in daily life.

Follow-up appointments and preventative care

In the first few weeks, we typically schedule several appointments to quickly address your symptoms. Afterwards, we discuss whether preventive care might be beneficial for you. While not mandatory, it can help reduce the risk of future symptoms and support your overall health.
