Sometimes when new patients enquire about an initial appointment they can be surprised that it takes an hour. The reason for this is we need to assess the background to your injury and work out how best to help you.
Symptoms that appear to be a simple strain or muscle pull can occasionally be something much more serious.
Many of our patients are not seen by a GP before presentation. Even if you have seen your doctor before coming to the clinic we do not have access to your medical records and are reliant on you telling us what the doctor or other specialist thinks, or has previously investigated.
Some of our questioning may seem irrelevant but it all helps us build a picture of what your tissues, joints and muscles go through on a regular basis and guide us to help you in the best way we can.
If you have had any investigations such as an MRI scan, then bring in any reports or any other information you have. Also a copy of any prescription medication you take.
