Should You See a Chiropractor?

If you have been thinking about coming to see a chiropractor but been putting it off, now is the time!

1. Self-care is not selfish-care

It is extremely difficult to perform your best if you are in pain. Yet, we quite often hear of people saying they need to look after others before themselves; a loved one, a child, a dog or cat. The reality is however that you will struggle to look after others as good as you think until you are firing more at your optimum. Above all, get on top of your own aches and pains and you will feel better and be able to be at your best. 

2. If it doesn’t help, it can provide you with more information

A common perception is that if we can’t help you it will be a waste of time. As a result, we actually see people often trying to justify their decision to come in to see us on their first visit as if they’ve already decided it won’t work. Stop!

Whilst Chiropractic is effective at helping a number of conditions and healthcare issues, you’ll never know if we can help unless you come in for our initial consultation and see a Chiropractor.

For example, if you come and see us and it turns out the Chiropractic care doesn’t work or isn’t what is needed in your case, we can still help. Our Basingstoke Chiropractor will still be able to offer you some more information about your body, how it works and what is going on. 

Initial Consultation

In our initial consultation and clinic on-boarding process, we use a series of tests (orthopaedic, neurological, postural and systemic tests more often than not) to work out whether Chiropractic care is right for you. Our tests help us to identify if we can help and also narrow down whatever is causing your aches and pains so that we can come up with a diagnosis. This allows us to form a rationale for your care with us or a platform for us to refer you to another professional if it is out of our expertise. In essence, if we can’t offer you a solution, you will still have more information that you started out with. We often take a lot of time to test, and are frequently told that we offer more information at our initial consultation alone than some people have gained after years of visiting others. 

3. It‘s actually cost-effective

A common perception people have is that Chiropractic care will cost you a lot of money or you’ll have to come in for a lifetime worth of care to see any results. As a result we often hear people saying that the can’t afford to look after themselves and would rather pop the pain relief pills instead. However, It is likely that it will actually cost you a lot less in terms of money or time than you might think (and that’s without even thinking about the health or financial costs related to popping pills every day).
