New to chiropractic?
You're in good hands.

We understand that visiting a chiropractor for the first time can feel a little daunting, particularly if you're experiencing pain or discomfort.

At Market Harborough Chiropractic Clinic, Maria will take time to listen to your concerns, understand your medical history and explain what to expect.

Your first appointment will include a consultation and appropriate examination. Maria will then discuss her findings, explain whether chiropractic treatment may be suitable and answer any questions you may have.

Treatment will only take place with your informed consent.

Our aim is to make your first visit comfortable, informative and reassuring

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your comfort, wellbeing and understanding are our priorities. If you have not visited a chiropractor before, Maria will take time to listen, explain each stage and answer your questions.

Step 1 – Consultation

We begin by discussing your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and concerns, as well as what you hope to achieve from care.

Step 2 – Examination

Maria may assess your posture, movement, joints, muscles and relevant neurological function. She will explain the examination and check you are comfortable.

Step 3 – Treatment recommendations

Maria will explain her findings, whether chiropractic care is appropriate, and the potential benefits, risks and alternatives. With your consent, treatment may begin at the first visit where suitable.

Step 4 – Follow-up and advice

If further visits are recommended, Maria will explain why and review progress with you. Advice on movement, exercises or everyday activities may also be offered.

Preparing for Your Appointment

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. If clothing needs to be adjusted for an examination, Maria will explain why and respect your privacy.

How long will it take?

Your first visit is longer than a routine follow-up because it includes consultation and examination this can take up to an hour.  Follow-up treatements are normal no longer than 20 minutes.

What should I bring?

Bring any relevant scan or X-ray reports, medication details, or letters from your GP or specialist, if you have them. You can still attend without these documents.

Can I bring someone?

Yes. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member for support.

Will I receive treatment on my first visit?

Possibly, if appropriate and with your agreement. Sometimes further assessment or referral is advised first.
