New Patient Consultation

The Initial Consultation involves taking a comprehensive medical history and a physical examination.

Medical history - you will be asked about your current complaint/concern. This will include any symptoms you are experiencing, when they started and if they are worse at any part of the day/night. You will then be asked about your medical history. This will consider any conditions you have been diagnosed with, medications you take, past surgeries and lifestyle factors.

A Physical Examination will then follow. You will be asked to remove your outer clothing (not your underwear) and provided with a gown for your modesty.

This physical examination will involve:-

• assessment of body position whilst standing and walking
• specialised orthopaedic and neurological tests
• assessment of vital signs e.g. blood pressure, pulse rate

Following this assessment, you will be given an appointment to attend for your 'Report of Findings'.

NB In some instances patients will present with more than 1 complaint. Both complaints can be considered within this initial consultation and will cost £65.

Examples of what constitutes 1 complaint would be shoulder (and neck pain) OR low back (and pelvic/hip pain).

Whereas your shoulder and knee would constitute 2 separate complaints.

Please get in contact to discuss if you are unsure or would like further clarification.
