Questions Before Your First Chiropractic Visit — FAQs
Will I receive treatment at my first appointment?
We take the time to understand your body before recommending care.
Your health is too important for guesswork. That’s why we don’t rush into adjustments on your first visit.
Instead, we take the time to listen to your story, understand what’s been happening, how it’s affecting your life, and what you want to get back to doing. We then carry out a thorough assessment, including posture scans, spinal and nervous system checks, and X-rays if clinically required.
But we don’t stop there.
After your first visit, your chiropractor carefully reviews your health history, examination results and any X-rays to understand what’s going on and develop personalised recommendations based on your findings and goals. At your second visit, we’ll explain what we’ve found, what it means for you, and your options moving forward, including any recommended care plan. You’ll have time to ask questions, understand the costs and decide what’s right for you.
And only when you’re fully informed, comfortable and happy to proceed will your care begin.
Because you deserve more than a quick fix. You deserve care that’s considered, personalised and focused on helping you get back to doing what you love.
Is chiropractic care safe, and will it hurt?
Your safety and comfort are always our priority.
Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-surgical approach to supporting spinal health, mobility and function.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractors take the time to understand your health history, assess your needs and ensure care is appropriate for you.
Will it hurt? Most people find chiropractic adjustments comfortable, although you may feel some brief pressure or discomfort. We offer a range of techniques, including gentle, low-force adjustments tailored to your needs and comfort.
Like any healthcare treatment, there are risks. Some people experience temporary soreness or stiffness afterwards, and serious complications, although uncommon, are possible. Your chiropractor will explain the relevant risks and benefits before care begins.
You’ll never be rushed or pressured into treatment. We’ll explain everything, answer your questions and only proceed when you’re comfortable and have given your consent.
Because your health deserves care that’s personal, considered and centred around you.
Do I need to commit to ongoing chiropractic care?
No.
After your consultation and assessment, once your chiropractor has taken the time to analyse your history and findings, at your report of findings, we’ll explain whether we can help, what we’ve found, what it means, how long it will take to heal and correct, and flexible financial options should you decide to start care.
From there, the decision is always yours.
Most clients with acute or chronic symptoms initially start with a more frequent care plan to help them achieve the greatest improvement in their condition as quickly as possible. This may mean having a number of checks and adjustments over a fairly short timescale.
If you’re open to it, we will set up a plan not just to get your initial complaint resolved, but also to prevent it from coming back and, over the long term, to get your body functioning, adapting better to life’s stresses (HRV) and feeling as good as it can with semi-regular rotuine ‘tune-ups’ to maintain the changes you have had and for optimal health and wellness.
For clients with chronic conditions, initial care plans tend to be longer-term, lasting 6 weeks to 3 months. However, you can decide to stop treatment any time you like, and you will not be expected to pay for any treatment you haven’t received.
You are never locked into a plan, and you only ever pay for visits you choose to receive.
How much does ongoing chiropractic care cost?
We understand how important it is to know the cost upfront and feel confident in your investment.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, individual visits start from £56.
We also offer flexible payment options, where you can pay as you go, pay in instalments or prepay for a pack of sessions. We’ll talk through with you during your second visit (your Report of Findings) if we can help you.
Your plan is based on your specific needs, your goals, and what works best for you.
There’s no pressure or obligation to start care, only move forward if it feels right for you.
