Eccleshall Chiropractic Clinic

Q. Is treatment safe?

Yes, all the evidence is that chiropractic is a safe and effective form of care for all ages. This is why it features in relevant European and National Institute of Clinical Excellence guidelines, as well as the Department of Health's Musculoskeletal Services Framework. Any side effects of treatment are normally minor and don't last very long. For example, some patients may temporarily feel more uncomfortable, stiff or tired for a day or so. On the other hand many patients feel more energetic.

Q. Will treatment hurt?

A. Chiropractic treatment is generally painless, and many patients experience relief immediately afterwards. Patients who come for treatment suffering with moderate to severe pain may experience some minor temporary discomfort.

Q. How many visits will I need?

A. This will depend on

Your particular condition
How severe it is
How long you have had the condition
Your treatment response
How much of your chiropractor's advice you follow

Q. Do I need to contact my GP?

A. You do not need to contact your GP unless you wish to. However some insurance companies require a GP referral letter if you are seeking to claim the cost of your chiropractic treatment from your insurance company.
