Frequently asked questions

The initial consultation is two appointments, Day 1 and Day 2. Day 1 involves going through your history, followed by an in-depth digital posture picture, joint testing, muscle testing, balance testing and any other orthopaedic testing that may be needed. On Day 2, we explain what we found and recommend a plan of care.

First, it is important to know what is going on in your nervous system and body. Second, we need to understand why your symptoms are there, and whether chiropractic and Anttz Family Chiropractic are the right fit for you.

You can, but only if you have had an initial consultation first, within a certain time frame. We need to examine you properly to see what is going on in your body and nervous system, because where you feel symptoms can be misleading. This protects you, so that nothing in your care causes you more pain or harm.

Treatment is usually painless unless an area is swollen, in which case we will adapt your care. With some techniques you may hear a click, which is just a gas bubble releasing and is perfectly normal. Some people notice temporary aches during or after care, which is also normal. If you are ever uncomfortable with a technique, just tell us.

We review your progress around every 12th visit, to measure improvements and see whether your schedule should change to get you the best results.

Chiropractors work in many different settings, including private rooms, group spaces and multi-disciplinary clinics. At Anttz Family Chiropractic, care takes place in an open-plan space where several practice members are cared for at the same time.

There are many chiropractic techniques. Some chiropractors use only their hands, others use instruments; some use quick, firm adjustments, others a lighter touch. Hannah Emmett, Doctor of Chiropractic, is one of around 35 practitioners in the UK who practise Network Spinal, a gentle technique using light, precise touches.
