What to Do Before Your First Appointment
What to Wear
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing if possible. The chiropractor will need to assess your posture and spine, so clothes that allow easy movement are helpful.
What to Bring
Bring any relevant medical records, scan results, or imaging if you have them. MRI, X-ray, or CT scan results related to your presenting complaint are useful but not essential.
What to Tell the Chiropractor
Be prepared to describe your symptoms clearly: when they started, what makes them better or worse, what treatments you have tried, and how the pain affects your daily life.
What Not to Do
You do not need to do anything special to prepare. There is no need to fast, avoid exercise, or change your medication before your visit. Just arrive as you are.
Exactly What Happens at Chiropractor Norwich
Welcome and Consultation
You will be welcomed by Rachel at reception. Then the chiropractor will take a full case history, listening carefully to your symptoms, history, and goals.
Zone Technique Assessment
We palpate specific pressure points on the skull to identify which of six body systems are under stress. This is unique to Chiropractor Norwich in Norfolk.
Spinal Examination
Postural assessment, range of movement testing, and segmental spinal examination. Combined with Zone Technique findings this gives a complete picture.
Treatment and Plan
If suitable, treatment begins on your first visit. We explain our findings clearly and give you a realistic plan. Full new patient information here.
What to Expect After Your First Appointment
Some patients feel immediate relief. Others experience mild muscle soreness for 24 to 48 hours, which is a normal response to the body being moved in ways it has not moved for some time. Some patients notice changes in sleep quality or energy levels after the Zone Technique session. This is a normal nervous system response.
