If you’re considering chiropractic care but feeling unsure about what your first appointment will involve, you’re not alone. At our clinic in Stillorgan, we understand that trying something new, especially when it concerns your health, can feel daunting. That’s why Dr Andrew Doody is committed to making your first visit comfortable, informative, and completely tailored to your needs.
Here’s a step-by-step overview of what you can expect when you book your first chiropractic appointment with Dr Doody.
1. Registration
Before your arrival at our Stillorgan clinic, you will have to complete a short health questionnaire. This includes your medical history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors. This background information helps Dr Doody gain a full picture of your health before beginning any assessments.
2. Comprehensive Consultation
Your consultation with Dr Andrew Doody is the heart of your first visit. You’ll have the opportunity to speak openly about your symptoms, whether it’s back pain, neck stiffness, migraines, or something more general like poor posture or recurring tension. Dr Doody takes a patient-centred approach, ensuring that you feel listened to and understood. He’ll also ask questions to better understand your overall wellbeing, lifestyle, and goals for treatment. Once your consultation is complete, Dr Doody will carry out a detailed physical assessment.
3. Personalised Report of Findings
You will return to our clinic for a second appointment. Dr Doody will explain his findings in clear, straightforward terms. You’ll learn what may be causing your symptoms and how chiropractic treatment can help. Dr Doody will outline a tailored plan, including the type and frequency of adjustments, home care advice, and any exercises to support your progress.
4. Your First Adjustment
If you’re comfortable moving forward, you may receive your first chiropractic adjustment during this visit. Adjustments are gentle, targeted movements designed to restore proper alignment and function to the spine and joints. Most patients report feeling immediate relief, or a sense of release and improved mobility after their first session.
5. Next Steps and Aftercare
Following your treatment, Dr Doody will discuss any post-adjustment advice, send personalised exercises and schedule your next visit. He’ll also be available to answer any questions you may have about your recovery, progress, or ongoing care.
