Why Choose Us?
Here at Forest Edge Chiropractic, we personalise your care to meet your individual needs.
We work with you to find out why you’re in pain, explaining what we’re doing as we go along. We listen, so we really understand what is important to you – your goals. We then work with you to personalise your care and support you to help you improve and get you back to doing the things you love.
Nothing will happen which you don’t agree to. Everything is discussed and explained first, so you are fully informed and can make the best decisions for you about how to proceed. Don’t like the cracking? That’s fine – we have lots of other treatment options! Probably won’t do any exercises? We understand! It might take longer to get you fixed, but we’ll do our best and maybe even find something you can do!
Because your recovery depends on our partnership – and we want to do everything we can to make it work!
We would like to make it very clear - if you’re looking for the “ring-dinger” treatment, this is not the clinic for you. We use safe, gentle and effective treatments to get you better as quickly as possible.
Your First Visit
Your first visit will take about an hour. We spend time talking to you and asking questions so we really understand your problem, your values and your goals.
Then we will do a physical examination, which aims to help us understand both what is causing your symptoms, and also why. This will involve asking you to do some movements, testing the strength of some muscles, and trying to reproduce your symptoms. It’s a good idea to wear loose fitting clothes and big underwear for this! But don’t worry – we have gowns if you’d prefer.
Then we will spend time explaining to you everything that we’ve found, and discussing the treatment options, the time frame for your recovery, and what you can do to help.
You can then make a decision about whether you wish to proceed. If so, it is likely we will be able to deliver your first treatment during this visit. If we are unable to help for whatever reason, we will explain what your other options may be and who might be best placed to help you.
