What to expect? When you attend your first consultation we will investigate the source of the problem by asking you some simple questions about the history of your complaint and any other factors that are relevant to the problem. We’ll want to know about your past health, and any injuries or investigations you may have had as far back as you might remember. We will carry out a full examination before making a diagnosis and deciding on the most appropriate treatment for you. This will usually include an assessment of your posture, and identifying ease or restriction of movement in relevant parts of your body. The format may vary but most patients will probably be asked to undress to their underwear for this part of the examination as subtleties of contour and movement are necessary for an accurate assessment. Depending on our findings at this stage, further tests may be required similar to those carried out by general practitioners, such as reflexes, blood pressure or using a stethoscope to listen to your heart or lungs. In some cases it may be necessary to refer you to your GP or a specialist for further investigation i.e. You will be given a provisional diagnosis and our view of whether osteopathic treatment can overcome or help to alleviate the symptoms and the treatment approach will be explained. With your consent, your first consultation will usually be concluded with the most appropriate treatment for that day.
