Chiropractic care in Liverpool
Chiropractic care may help people manage musculoskeletal problems such as lower back pain, neck and shoulder tension and joint stiffness. Your first visit starts with a full history and examination, so you leave knowing what we found and what we suggest doing next.
What happens at your first visit
We take the time to look at you in full detail, then explain what we think is going on.
- A thorough history and examination
- A review of any X-rays or scans you already have
- Your findings, explained in plain language
- A treatment plan, so you know what to do next
- Initial treatment, where it is appropriate
How treatment works
Your chiropractor may use manual adjustment, mobilisation, soft tissue work and home exercises, depending on your examination. If an adjustment is not right for you, we will say so and talk through other options.
When we refer you on
If something in your history or examination needs medical attention, we will tell you and refer you to your GP.
Risks and what to expect
Some people feel sore or tired for a day or two after treatment. Like all hands-on care, chiropractic carries risks, and your chiropractor will talk you through them before anything begins. Results vary between people.
Will the adjustment hurt?
Most people feel pressure and some movement. Tell your chiropractor if anything is uncomfortable and they will change the approach.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on what we find. We will explain our suggestion after your examination, and the decision is always yours.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book without a GP referral. If your GP has referred you under a Medicare plan, bring the paperwork and tell us when you book.
Can I claim on my health fund?
Many funds cover this kind of care, depending on your level of extras. Bring your card and check your cover with your fund first.
