Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I visit a chiropractor for the first time?
Your first appointment will usually last around 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, your chiropractor will:
- Take a full case history, asking about your symptoms, general health and medical history
- Perform a physical examination, which may include orthopaedic and neurological tests
- Possibly refer you for X-rays or other tests if needed (they’ll explain why)
- Talk through what they’ve found and explain your treatment options
- Begin treatment if appropriate and with your consent
You’ll be given time to ask questions, and everything will be explained clearly before anything happens.
Will the treatment hurt?
Some patients may experience mild discomfort during or after treatment, particularly if it's your first time or you're not used to being manipulated. This is perfectly normal and usually passes within 24– 48 hours.
Let your chiropractor know if you're unsure or feel uncomfortable at any point.
What is chiropractic treatment?
Chiropractors are trained to assess and treat problems with the bones, joints, muscles and nervous system.
Treatment often involves gentle, controlled movements or manipulation of specific joints. Depending on your condition, your chiropractor may also recommend:
- Soft tissue massage or mobilisation
- Posture and movement advice
- Stretching or strengthening exercises
- Lifestyle or ergonomic changes
- A personalised treatment or rehabilitation programme
What do I need to know before my first chiropractic session?
Before you begin treatment, your chiropractor will:
- Explain the proposed treatment plan
- Talk you through any risks and benefits
- Give you time to ask questions
- Ask for your consent before starting anything
You should also wear comfortable clothing and be prepared for the chiropractor to access the area being treated.
How many visits will I need?
This varies depending on:
- How severe or long-standing your issue is
- How your body responds to treatment
- Your chiropractor’s advice
- Your lifestyle and goals
After your first few visits, your chiropractor will discuss your progress and whether ongoing or periodic care might help maintain improvement.
Do I need to tell my GP?
You don’t need a GP referral to see a chiropractor. However, it’s helpful to keep your GP informed, especially if you're under their care for a long-term condition or are on medication.
With your consent, your chiropractor can update your GP as needed to make sure your records are complete and up to date.
Do I have to pay for my treatment?
Yes — you’ll usually need to pay for chiropractic treatment unless you’re:
- Covered by Private Medical Insurance (PMI)
- On a health cash plan
- Living in an area with NHS-funded chiropractic care
NHS chiropractic services are not widely available, so it's best to speak to your GP or chiropractor to check what's available in your area.
If you have PMI, confirm with your provider that chiropractic treatment is covered and let your chiropractor know how you’ll be paying.
Can anyone call themselves a chiropractor?
No. It’s illegal for anyone in the UK to use the title “chiropractor” or imply they are one unless they’re registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC).
All registered chiropractors must have insurance to cover any claims made against them.
By law, the General Chiropractic Council must:
- Check applicants have an approved chiropractic qualification and are of good character, mentally and physically fit
- Set and monitor standards of education and training
- Set standards of professional conduct
- Investigate and act on complaints about chiropractors or their practice
