I fully understand that seeing a chiropractor for the first time might be worrying for some people, so I’ve explained what new patients can expect.
It is important to me that every guest is seen and treated as an individual. I will tailor all questions, examinations and treatments to you.
Your first visit will have two parts, firstly reviewing your health and medical history and secondly an examination. The consultation is a time for me to assess whether your problem is a chiropractic case or if you need further imaging such as x-ray or MRI. If I can’t help you, then I will find someone who can. This may be a referral to another appropriate health care professional.
I will take the time to listen and understand your problem during the history. I will explore all areas of your health to help find the root cause of your problem. Once a comprehensive history has been taken we move onto the physical examination. This is where we assess your nerves, muscles, joints and general movement through careful observations, palpation and orthopaedic tests. When carrying out specific tests I will clearly explain what we are doing and why we are doing them. Gowns will be provided for this part of the consultation.
I think it can also be important to understand how a problem has affected your quality of life so that I can best tailor your treatment to help with that.
I look forward to seeing you and helping you on your journey to better health.
What to Expect
Upon being warmly welcomed by the reception team at Lushington Chiropractic, you will be given an assessment form so we can gather some essential information about you.
You will then be greeted by myself, and I will take you through to the treatment room where we will begin the consultation.
Questions
My guests are often surprised at how much detail I go into during the first assessment. My approach is to get to the root of the problem and to find out what is going on from the start. This is so I can make an accurate diagnosis and formulate an appropriate management plan that is tailored to you and your needs.
During the consultation I will ask you lots of questions about the area you are concerned with to ensure I have all the right information to formulate my diagnosis. I will work out what is causing your problem and see if there are any compensations as a result.
I believe taking the time to listen carefully allows me to understand a lot more about you and your preferences. It also allows me to ensure that the management plan I create is tailored for you which helps to achieve faster and more effective relief.
As well as getting to know a lot more about you and why you have come to the chiropractic clinic, I will also be interested in any other injuries or accidents, your general health and medical history too.
Part of the assessment is to work out if this is the type of problem I can help you with.
Chiropractic Examination
After the initial chat, I will carry out a very thorough physical examination on the area of complaint. These examinations are very comprehensive and are specifically tailored for each person based on their needs. The examination will consist of orthopaedic and neurological tests to help me to rule in or rule out a certain diagnosis. The examination may also include the following:
- Posture observation
- Palpation
- Muscle function with range of motion
- Muscle strength
- Skin sensation
- Reflexes
- Spinal examination
- Blood pressure check
- X-rays if required
Using this thorough approach to the assessment, I am able to make an accurate diagnosis and get to the root of the problem. At this point, I will be able to advise you about whether this is a chiropractic problem or whether referral for an X-ray or to another health care professional will be more appropriate for you.
You will need to undress for the examination part of the assessment but no more than you are happy. I have gowns that you may wear and you will be able to undress privately in the room. Your privacy and comfort within the clinic is most important to me.
Your Personal Health Report
On your second visit, I will go through a full report of findings with you, this involves an explanation of the following:
- What is wrong
- If I can help
- What type of treatment you need
- How soon you will feel better
If you are happy with what has been discussed then we will start your chiropractic care immediately.
Most care plans involve a schedule of visits which are tailored to suit you personally. The focus is to get to the root of the problem and to provide a personally tailored care package that meets your goals.

Eastbourne Chiropractor FAQs
How much treatment will I need?
The amount of treatment recommended in your treatment plan is individually tailored to your condition and will differ from person to person. The length of time of your treatments will depend on how long you have had your condition, how severe your condition is, whether or not you have had your condition before and how old you are, as well as many other factors.
On completion of the history and thorough examination, I will be able to advise you on how much treatment you will need and how long I expect you to start feeling changes.
It is best to address your complaint by seeking help as soon as possible and for you to follow my recommendations in order to get the most out of your care.
How much will my treatment cost?
New patient consultations are 49 for adults with adult treatments 50 and child consultations & treatments 35. (under 19 years of age)
Is Chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic is widely recognised as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal (nerves, muscles and joints) conditions.
Although Chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health therapy is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks are, however, very small. Most patients feel relief immediately after receiving chiropractic treatment but some people may experience some mild soreness, stiffness or aching, just like after a sports massage. Current research indicates that mild soreness or discomfort following spinal manipulation typically fades within 24 hours.
If you have any other questions or concerns about the treatment, please feel free to share them with me as there are many different chiropractic techniques that I am able to use.
Does Chiropractic treatment hurt?
No, there is usually minimal, if any, discomfort involved with the adjustment of a joint. I will always talk you through every procedure before and will do my best to make sure that treatment is as comfortable as possible.
What is the ‘popping’ sound when I get adjusted?
Adjustments of a joint may give off an ‘audible release’ which is the popping or clicking sound you hear, similar to that when you crack your fingers. This is just gas being released from the joint due to a change of pressure within the joint.
Do you as a Chiropractor get regular Chiropractic treatment?
Most definitely! Our team of chiropractors understand the power of Chiropractic and the importance of our health. We take every opportunity to have regular check-ups and treatment.
