If you have never visited an osteopath before, you may be unsure about what happens during an osteopathic assessment.
Understanding what to expect can make booking your first appointment feel much easier.
At Arco Healthcare Clinic, our Osteopath in Widnes takes time to understand your symptoms and individual requirements before developing an appropriate approach to treatment.
Discussing Your Symptoms
Your appointment will include a discussion about why you have decided to seek osteopathic treatment.
You may be asked about:
- Your current symptoms
- When they started
- What makes them better or worse
- How they affect your everyday life
- Your general activity levels
- Relevant lifestyle factors
This information helps your osteopath develop an understanding of your individual situation.
Assessing Your Movement
Your osteopath may assess how you move and consider areas relevant to your symptoms.
The purpose of an assessment is to build a clearer picture of your individual musculoskeletal health and determine an appropriate approach to treatment.
Discussing Your Treatment
Following your assessment, your osteopath can discuss their findings and suitable treatment options with you.
At Arco Healthcare Clinic, we recognise that every patient is different, so treatment is tailored around your individual circumstances.
Your Questions Matter
If you are nervous about your first appointment, remember that it is an opportunity to discuss your concerns.
You can ask questions about your symptoms, assessment and treatment approach.
