WHAT TO EXPECT
Your first visit
• When you arrive our reception team will give you a patient case form. Please fill in your name and address – the osteopath will fill in the rest.
• You will be asked to discuss your current problem and to give a more detailed overall history of your health, including a history of illness, operations and accidents.
• It would be helpful if you brought a list of current medication and X-ray/MRI reports.
• The osteopath will be making detailed notes to enable them to put together a clearer picture of your health.
• With children, the osteopath will wish to know about the detail of the pregnancy and birth, which can help them to unravel the current problems.
• Consultation will usually take up to ½ hour, which will include treatment.
• On occasion you may be required to undress into underclothes to facilitate examination. Please dress appropriately.
