During your consultation, your Osteopath will compile a detailed medical report in order to correctly diagnose and subsequently propose a treatment plan.
The medical report will need to include your medical history, details about your general health and lifestyle as these may be contributing to your current condition and also influence the treatment that you receive.
Finally you may be required to undress down to your underclothes, so that your Osteopath can assess your range of movement and carry out the treatment. If you feel uncomfortable with this then tracksuit bottoms and a tee shirt or other loose fitting clothing would be appropriate.
If necessary we may refer you to have an X-ray or MRI or advise you to visit your GP for blood tests. This may also include a referral to a specialist. We do have a good working relationship with local GPs and Specialists in the hospital which helps towards fast and efficient referrals and we pride ourselves with good communication regarding the problem.
