What To Expect At Bolton Spinal Health
First Assessment
If you are coming to us for the first time your consultation will normally last 20-30 minutes for an initial assessment. We will chat about your pain/symptoms, your general health and wellness, lifestyle and any previous health conditions. A physical and neurological examination to check your spine, posture and where relevant the possible source of discomfort will then be conducted. During the initial consultation we will photograph your posture and input it into a system to help give us diagnosis options, we will also direct you on any changes to your posture you may have to make.
If X-rays, MRIs or any other referrals are required we can discuss the next steps. No adjustments will be conducted at your first appointment. This is because we need to fully understand your health and wellness condition and generate a report of findings, so we are then able to provide the right treatment for you moving forward.
