Osteopathy 1st visit
The initial consultation will usually last between 45 minutes to 1 hour, and will allow you plenty of time to tell the osteopath about your problem. The osteopath will begin by taking a full medical history followed by a physical examination to the areas of the body affected.
You may be asked to remove some of your clothing and to perform a series of simple movements so that the mobility of your body can be evaluated. This musculo-skeletal assessment will be considered alongside lifestyle factors such as work and leisure activities to enable a full diagnosis and suitable treatment plan to be determined. We may recommend additional investigations in the way of X-ray, MRI scans or blood tests.
The osteopath will make a diagnosis and discuss this with you and if osteopathic treatment is suitable it will be offered to you.
