Chiropractic Care FAQs

At your initial consultation Dr Broe (DC) will take a detailed medical history – please take along any x-rays if you have them. He will perform an examination that focuses on how your joints, muscles and nerves are functioning individually and together. This can involve undressing down to your underwear in private, with the option of a gown. Your privacy and dignity will be respected at all times. Following the examination, a chiropractic care plan will discussed. The first consultation takes, on average, around 45 minutes.

When carried out correctly by a qualified practitioner the manipulation involved in the treatment is not painful. In some cases when you have had a problem for some time, you may feel sore after treatment whilst your body starts to adjust itself.

When the two surfaces of a joint are moved apart rapidly, as happens in a chiropractic adjustment, there is a change of pressure within the joint space. This may cause a bubble of gas to ‘pop’ but rest assured this does not hurt.

As with any form of medical treatment there are possible risks, however chiropractic is considered to be safe and Dr Broe (Doctor of Chiropractic) has an outstanding safety record. A recent study involving 50,000 patients with neck symptoms treated over a 6 week period demonstrated only minor transient adverse reactions. All chiropractors must be registered with the government statutory regulatory body, the General Chiropractic Council. Dr Broe undergoes regular professional knowledge and skills updates as part of his regulation commitment.
