Welcome to the Hale Barns Chiropractors Clinic
Your first visit
Consultation
When you initially attend the clinic we will start with a discussion about you, your health concerns and your health goals. You will be asked for a great deal of information, not just about the pain or complaint that may have brought you, but about your past health history. To ensure that our approach is appropriate for your condition we will need to establish an overall health picture. If we feel that condition warrants it you will be referred to your GP or relevant specialist. Your details will remain confidential at all times.
Examination
Once your case history is complete, the chiropractor will examine you thoroughly. The examination will concentrate on your neuromusculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles and joints), but it may also be necessary to examine other areas such as your heart, lungs and abdomen to confirm accurate diagnosis; this thorough check up is a normal procedure at the Hale Barns Chiropractors clinic. Personal gowns are made available for you to wear for the examination, as well as any following treatments. After the initial consultation and examination, we will put together a Report of our Findings. This will be given to you in the next appointment. However, it may be delayed for a day or two if we need to take or view X-rays, perform urine tests or obtain further information from your GP (for example blood test results) and where appropriate, refer you for an MRI/CT scan.
Report of findings
Before treatment starts, we will tell you, in clear, simple language, what is wrong and what can be done about it. You will be advised about any particular need for exercise based rehabilitation, or recommended changes to your lifestyle, occupational environment or diet. We encourage you to take an active part in the healing process to speed up the improvements. You will be advised of all costs that relate to your future care. We will also tell you of any likelihood of a recurrence of your problem, and the possible need for any ongoing supportive care.
Treatment
Treatment mainly involves safe, often gentle, specific manual adjustments, done by hand, to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. Most often, this requires a short, highly skilled thrust to a joint that can result in an audible release, and may bring relief of symptoms as well as an increased feeling of well-being. The audible release is simply the sound of bubbles of gas popping in the fluid of the joint as the pressure is released. Apart from the adjustment, we may use a wide variety of techniques including ice, heat, ultrasound and rehabilitation exercises. If you have questions about any of these, just ask. We treat problems with your joints, bones and muscles, and the effects they may have on your nervous system. Working on all the joints of your body, making gentle, specific adjustments to improve the efficiency of your nervous system and release your body’s natural healing ability. Chiropractic does not involve the use of any drugs or surgery.
Rescheduled Appointments:
The time scheduled for your appointment is very important. Please give 24 hours notice to reschedule appointments. A fee applies when this policy is not observed.

Your initial visit is reserved with Dr Stewart Wilson DC. He is a highly qualified registered Chiropractor. Your initial visit will last for up to 1 hour. Following the examination we will book a second appointment for you very soon after to offer you your Report of Findings and begin treatment.
Will treatment hurt?
Chiropractic adjustment does not hurt – although occasionally there may be some minor short-term discomfort which quickly passes for most patients. This is similar to muscle soreness sometimes experienced after exercise.
Are there any risks?
Chiropractic has far fewer risks than many other treatments for your problem. Serious side effects are extremely uncommon and research shows that chiropractic is one of the safest and most effective forms of treatment available. We will, of course, be happy to discuss all your concerns regarding treatment.
Do chiropractors use X-rays?
Chiropractors are qualified to take and read X-rays. Any decision to take X-rays will be made in consultation with you. At all times we will weigh the risks against the benefits and advise you accordingly.
