What happens on my first consultation?
Your
visit will take between 45 minutes and 1 hour depending on the
practitioner you are seeing. Please bring with you any results of
tests or X rays you may have had done plus details of medication.
Your practitioner will take a detailed case history in order to get
an understanding of you.
Will I be asked to undress?
On
the first visit you may be asked to undress to your underwear so
the practitioner cando a diagnosis and a treatment. It is not
necessary to undress for a number of therapies such as Naturopathy,
homeopathy, herbal medicine or hypnotherapy and
councelling
How long does a course of treatment take?
This
depends on the nature and complication of the problem. As a general
average 1 to 3 treatments. Longer term, more chronic conditions
will take longer. Your Osteopath will discuss your individual
situation with you at your 1st treatment. Be assured we have a very
busy practice and will not keep you coming longer than
necessary.
What happens if I get a treatment reaction?
These
do happen at times and may be as a result of the body reacting to
the stimulus towards health it has been given, or as a result of
the body being unable to continue the process of adaptation that
the treatment has enabled it to set into motion. Your practitioner
will be able to advise you.
Why do I need to wait between treatment sessions
Essentially
the body heals itself. There must be a time interval between
treatment sessions to allow the body to make its response, and then
take it on a further step.
Your practitioner will advise on the correct time interval and number of treatment sessions likely to be required. You, however, remain in control. You can discuss this advice at any stage and, if you feel you are not making adequate progress, you can curtail treatment and ask your practitioner about other possible approaches to your problem.

not. We have treated many patients in their 80s very

definitely. Very gentle treatments can be used; we treat frequently

Should I tell my doctor?
If
you are receiving treatment from your doctor then it makes sense to
tell him or her about your plans to have complementary medicine
treatment. The treatment may enable you to reduce or even stop
taking some forms of medication, but your doctor should be
consulted regarding any change of prescription. You should always
tell your practitioner about any medication you are taking as this
may affect your response to your treatment.
Should I continue with my prescribed medication while undergoing a course of treatment?
Yes,
at least until you have had a careful discussion with your doctor
and your practitioner. Many people seek our help because of
dissatisfaction with drug treatment - because it does not seem to
be working or because the side effects are unacceptable.
