What to Expect from Your Chiropractic Visit

Your first visit to Aquae Sulis Chiropractic starts with a warm welcome and a relaxed conversation about your health history, current concerns, and lifestyle.

Richard will then carry out a two-part assessment:

  1. Baseline Testing - A series of tests to see how your nervous system and body are interacting. This forms a reference point for measuring future improvements.

  2. Chiropractic Examination - A detailed physical exam to determine where chiropractic adjustments may be needed to begin your healing process

On your second visit, you’ll receive a full Report of Findings, where Richard will outline what was discovered and the care he recommends.

On subsequent visits more assessments will be made and advice given as your health improves.

But how does it work?

Research indicates that chiropractic care enhances brain-body communication,
allowing your brain to more accurately interpret internal and external signals.

This improved perception of what is happening inside you and around you enables your
brain to optimise bodily functions and adapt more effectively to your environment.

Reviews

Carmen - Richard knew exactly what the problem was and I felt so much better after. He listened and assessed professionally in a warm welcoming environment. His experience was invaluable as he explained clearly why I was in pain and how the body behaves in certain circumstances. Thank you Richard.
