Your first consultation will take approximately one hour. On arrival at our Merchant City clinic you will be asked to fill out a New Patient medical questionnaire. The chiropractor will then go through your form with you and ask relevant questions regarding your medical history and will discuss your symptoms. Your completed consultation with then be followed by a physical examination where the chiropractor will perform various orthopedic, neurological and special chiropractic test to determine the cause of your problem. Your chiropractor will also advise you at this time of any other test that may be required to complete your examination.

Once your chiropractor has determined the root of your problem they will explain to you using anatomical models and diagrams where the cause of the problem and how they may help you. During the first visit if it is appropriate to do so, you will receive your first chiropractic treatment.

Initially your chiropractor will use specific adjustments and soft tissue techniques to get you out of a painful condition. Once it is safe to do so and effective, specific exercises are given to you that are tailored to speed recovery and strengthen your body. Many people find that they may have been carrying a problem for quite some time and once addressed, choose to go further in their recovery and engage in more active exercise. We work closely with Kate and Kenny of Wellbeing Solutions who can work closely with your Glasgow chiropractor and devise an exercise program that will build on the care you have already received.
