Your registration and health history forms will be sent to you in advance through our secure booking system, with a link included in your appointment confirmation email. Please complete these forms before attending your appointment.
When you arrive at the clinic, one of our reception team will greet you.
Your chiropractor will then be ready to see you. During this initial consultation, your chiropractor will listen carefully to your health concerns, explore your personal health goals, and learn what you hope to gain from chiropractic care. A comprehensive health history will be taken, covering not only your current health status but also any past injuries or traumas, even those dating back years.
Next, a physical assessment will be conducted to evaluate the function of your joints, muscles, and nervous system. After gathering all this information, your chiropractor will present their findings, discuss their recommendations, and outline a personalised care plan in a mini report of findings. In most cases, treatment will begin on the first visit if appropriate, along with aftercare advice and guidance. If imaging is required, treatment may be modified or postponed until imaging is complete.
X-ray and MRI Referral: If your history suggests that imaging is necessary, we’ll arrange a referral to Horder Healthcare, where digital X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound examinations are available.
During your second visit, your chiropractor will review in detail the findings from your initial consultation and discuss any imaging or additional investigations that may have been necessary. They will outline a personalised care plan tailored to help you regain health as efficiently as possible.
While your chiropractor will offer their professional recommendations, they will also take the time to listen and collaborate with you to ensure your goals are prioritised. You’ll receive a clear explanation of the suggested treatment duration, associated costs, and the role you play in creating a collaborative environment for healing. If you’re ready to proceed, your chiropractor will continue with your adjustments to begin your journey to wellness.
Each visit at Staplehurst Chiropractic builds on the previous one, ensuring steady progress in your care. To keep us on track, we regularly conduct progress examinations, so we can both confirm that everything is moving in the right direction. At times, we may suggest incorporating other therapies—such as massage, personal training, yoga, or Pilates—at specific stages of your care to enhance your results.
These follow-up sessions are shorter than the initial consultation and report of findings, but we ensure each client receives the time and attention they need. If additional time is required, there is no extra charge. Likewise, if you’d like to discuss any aspect of your health in more depth, just let your chiropractor know, and they’ll be happy to arrange it for your next visit.
