Indygo Chiropractic

Your First Visits

Chiropractic First Visit

Initial visit, your chiropractic consultation will include an intake & health history. The chiropractor will ask about:

• Your main complaint (pain, stiffness, headaches, posture issues, etc.)

• Onset (when it started, how it happened)

• Severity & pattern (what makes it better or worse)

• Past injuries, surgeries, or accidents

• Medical conditions, medications, and family history

• Lifestyle factors (work posture, stress, sleep, exercise)

You will have completed a written questionnaire before this stage which is important, this tailors your consultation specifically to your health needs providing best treatment outcomes.

Physical Examination

This will include:

• Postural assessment (standing, sitting, walking)

• Range of motion tests

• Orthopaedic tests (to assess joints, ligaments, muscles, discs)

• Neurological tests (to assess you nervous system; reflexes, sensation, muscle strength and balance co-ordination if required)

• Palpation (feeling the spine and surrounding muscles)

The goal is to identify joint dysfunction, muscle imbalance, nerve involvement, or instability.

Additional Tests (if needed)

Depending on your case, the chiropractor may refer out for imaging:

• Review X-rays / Ultrasound / MRI Scans

• Refer you to another healthcare provider if red flags appear

Chiropractic Second Visit

Report of Findings (Follow-Up Visit)

This visit is about explaining results and the care plan, not just treatment.

A explanation of findings will be given by the chiropractor and they will explain:

• What’s wrong (diagnosis or working diagnosis)

• Which structures are involved (joints, discs, nerves, muscles)

• Why you’re having symptoms

• Whether the issue is acute, chronic, or degenerative

They will use the following to show and tell using:

• Spine models

• Simple diagrams

You will be advised a recommended treatment plan based on your history and exam findings from your initial consultation.

This includes:

• Type of care (spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, mobilisation other modalities)

• Frequency of care

• Duration of care

• Home care (ice vs heat, stretches, exercises, posture advice, supports)

• Lifestyle changes (ergonomics, activity modification)

You will be explained why this plan is recommended.

Risks, Benefits & Alternatives

Your Chiropractors will discuss:

• Expected benefits

• Possible side effects or risks with your case

You will have a chance at the end of the report of findings to ask questions and give informed consent to start your chiropractic course of care.

I cannot rate Indygo Chiropractic high enough. The care and attention given by this family run business is exceptional. I always leave feeling both freer in movement and emotionally better. Indy is all about looking after his clients holistically which in this day and age is refreshing and so important. 5 stars isn’t enough!!!

I posted a 5 star review of Indy's excellent treatment some time ago, but have now decided to update it following a new back problem. I began to develop pain in my lower back about 18 months ago and asked about it at a regular maintainence appointment. Indy treated me with his usual care and attention to detail, but because I was not responding well he suggested I visit my GP.

Indy has been looking after me for the past 3 years. The location has lots of parking, easy to get too. Clean and comfortable clinic spaces with pleasant soft music. He keeps all my aches and pains under control which allows me to carry on working as a surgeon. Very professional and caring.

I started seeing Indy in September 2022. I had pain in both knees which was causing me issues with carrying any kind of load, kneeling and running. Sometimes I would even have pain when sitting in a car on long journeys.

Went to see Indy suffering from pain from a broken back a number of months previous and later with tendon pain in my wrist. Indy has been brilliant in diagnosis of the exact nature of my pains, making sure he had a full picture of my health before treating correctly. It wasn’t long before my pains disappeared and I was able to lead my life normally without neck & back pains interfering with it. Highly recommend for his knowledge & skill along with professionalism & attention to detail.
