What to Expect
At Chiropractic Wellness Centre, Rekha wants you to feel heard, supported and confident at every stage of your care. From your first enquiry to each visit that follows, everything is designed to give you clarity, honesty and genuine attention
Your First Visit: From Start to Finish
Your Story
Rekha begins by listening. She wants to understand what brought you in, how long it has been going on, how it is affecting your daily life and what you are hoping to achieve.
This is not a rushed conversation. It is your opportunity to be heard, and it helps Rekha understand the full picture rather than focusing on a single symptom.
Health History Review
Having already reviewed your new patient form, Rekha will go through your health history in more detail. She looks at past injuries, medical history, lifestyle, daily habits and anything else that may be contributing to what you are experiencing.
Thorough Physical Assessment
Rekha carries out a comprehensive examination to understand how your body is currently functioning. This may include:
- Postural and structural assessment
- Spinal joint and muscle function testing
- Movement and range of motion evaluation
- Neurological assessment
She is looking at the whole picture: how different stressors, habits and experiences have influenced how your body is adapting today. For this part of the examination, you may be asked to wear a gown so Rekha can assess your spine properly.
Report of Findings
Once the assessment is complete, Rekha sits down with you and explains what she has found in a clear, straightforward way.
You will understand:
- What is happening in your body
- Why it may have developed
- How your spine and nervous system are influencing your overall function
- How chiropractic care can support your recovery and long-term health
If chiropractic is not the right approach for you, Rekha will always be honest about that and guide you towards the most appropriate care.
Your Personalised Care Plan
If you are happy to proceed, Rekha will outline a care plan tailored to your needs, your goals and your life. This includes:
- Your recommended visit schedule
- The costs involved
- What to expect in the early weeks of care
- How progress will be measured
Every plan is built around you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Your First Adjustment
Where it is clinically appropriate, Rekha will begin care at your first visit with a gentle chiropractic adjustment.
Her adjustments are hands-on, specific and always tailored to your body. Some people feel an immediate sense of ease or lightness. Others simply feel more aware of their body. Every response is normal.
Scheduling and Next Steps
Before you leave, Rekha will book your follow-up sessions and send you a link to download the patient app, where your report of findings and any exercises will be available to you.
You leave knowing exactly what is happening, what comes next and what to expect from your care.
What to Expect as Care Progresses
Chiropractic care is a process. Your body has been adapting to stress, strain and habits over a long period, and restoring healthy function takes time and consistency.
The first 2 to 3 weeks
During the initial phase of care, it is normal to experience some soreness, tenderness or increased awareness in your body. This is your body responding to change. Some patients also notice increased range of motion during this period.
Alongside your adjustments, Rekha will address posture, lifestyle and nutrition in every session during the first three to four weeks. This guidance is bespoke to how you live, work and move.
Sessions 6 to 8
Most patients begin to notice meaningful improvement around this point. The early soreness settles, and you start to feel the benefits of care building.
Functional exercises are introduced during this period, tailored to support the changes happening in your body.
Visit 12: Reassessment
At your 12th visit, Rekha carries out a full reassessment to track your progress and measure the improvements in your spinal function and movement. Based on these findings, the next phase of your care is planned.
This is where you see how far you have come, and where you are heading next.
Your Follow-Up Visits
Follow-up adjustments are usually 10 to 15 minutes. Each visit, Rekha assesses how your body is responding and adjusts accordingly.
These visits are short but focused. Consistency matters in chiropractic care. It is the rhythm of regular adjustments, combined with the lifestyle changes you make between visits, that allows your body to adapt and improve over time.
Your care plan is structured but flexible. On average, patients begin with visits twice a week for three to four weeks, then move to once a week for three to four weeks, with a reassessment at visit 12. From there, the next phase is guided by your progress and your goals.
Rekha also recommends drinking plenty of water and taking a short walk after each adjustment, and may suggest using an ice pack for 10 to 15 minutes where appropriate.
A Partnership in Your Health
Care is not something that is done to you. It is something you and Rekha work on together.
She guides, assesses and adjusts. You show up, stay consistent and pay attention to how your body responds. Together, the aim is to help your body work the way it was designed to.
