Your First Appointment
Our consultation and diagnostic service.
A unique and pioneering diagnostic experience. Irrespective of the appointment you book, and the clinician you see at any one of our clinic locations, you’ll be taken through the following detailed diagnostic steps…
Clinical History.
When you arrive you will be welcomed by one of our secretaries and asked to complete a detailed questionnaire designed to create a picture of your overall health and wellbeing.
Your clinician will then carry out a private consultation and examination. We begin by taking a thorough history of your complaint, and any other associated symptoms, as well as a full past medical history, family history and history of other factors which can influence the genesis of your complaint.
Clinical Examination.
This will be followed by a comprehensive physical examination consisting of: orthopaedic, neurological, postural, and gait evaluation. It is this unique and pioneering approach to examination that allows us to identify the factors that have either (A) contributed to the development / continuation of your problem, or, (B) may predispose you to the development of future concerns.
If you require any further tests, such as Blood tests, or investigative imaging (i.e an X-ray, MRI scan, Ultrasound scan etc.) you will be referred to the appropriate specialist for these investigations.
Confidential Clinical Report of Findings.
- A Diagnosis of your complaint: What it is and what’s causing it…
- A Prognosis of your case: How it’s expected to progress / develop, or, how long it will take to get better…
- An explanation of the Proposed Treatment (should we deem ourselves suitable for the management of your complaint). This will inform you of:
- What we can do to help.
- What you’ll be able to do, in order to help yourself.
- What results you can expect.
- The rate at which you can expect these results.
- What this result will cost you in time and money. ‘We aim to make all costs involved in the management of your case known to you from the outset.’
- If we feel that your complaint would be better managed by another clinician, the appropriate referral to that clinician will be made without delay.
