Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed. You can simply book an appointment, and we’ll take a close look at your problem. If we can help, we’ll recommend the best course of action. If not, we’ll guide you to the most appropriate healthcare professional.

It’s easy! You can book by telephone or via the online booking link on our website.

We always try our best to fit patients in as quickly as possible. Depending on availability, same-day and urgent appointments are often possible – just give us a call and we’ll do our best to help.

Your first visit is all about understanding you and your body. We’ll start with a detailed discussion of your history, lifestyle, and symptoms so we can get a full picture of your individual situation.

Next, we’ll carry out a thorough physical examination to identify the source of your problem.

After the assessment, we’ll review everything with you in a Report of Findings, where we will:

  • Explain the results of your examination
  • Discuss the diagnosis and what it means for you
  • Outline a tailored treatment plan, including timeline and costs
  • Highlight expected outcomes and any potential risks

This ensures you have a clear understanding of your care plan before any treatment begins.

Yes! We work with Aviva, Vitality, AXA, and WPA to provide chiropractic care for our patients. Before your appointment, check with your provider for details on coverage, allowances, and any information they need from us. This helps make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

Most chiropractic adjustments are not painful. In fact, many patients feel immediate relief during or after their visit. The techniques used are gentle and specifically tailored to your comfort level. Some people experience mild soreness afterward, much like the feeling after starting a new workout. This is normal and typically resolves within a day or two. If you ever feel uncomfortable during care, your chiropractor can adjust the technique to ensure the experience remains safe and comfortable for you.

The clicking or popping sound you may hear during a chiropractic adjustment is completely normal. It’s caused by a quick change of pressure within the joint, which releases tiny gas bubbles–similar to the sound you hear when you crack your knuckles.This sound is not your bones cracking, and it isn’t a sign of anything harmful happening. Many adjustments don’t make any noise at all, and the effectiveness of the treatment doesn’t depend on whether you hear a click.

Recovery times vary depending on your condition and how your body responds to care. During your Report of Findings, your chiropractor will discuss your specific diagnosis, expected recovery timeline, and the steps we’ll take together to get you feeling your best.

The number of visits you’ll need depends on your condition, how severe it is, and how your body responds to treatment. During your Report of Findings, your chiropractor will discuss a personalised care plan designed specifically for you.

Absolutely! At Bognor Regis Chiropractic, we pride ourselves on treating every patient as an individual. Every treatment plan is personalised based on your assessment, lifestyle, and goals. We focus on what will work best for you, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

It can be helpful to bring any relevant medical records, X-rays, or information about previous treatments, but it’s not essential. We’ll gather all the information we need during your consultation to ensure your care is personalised and thorough.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Loose-fitting clothes or sportswear are ideal, so your chiropractor can assess and treat you comfortably. For certain examinations, you may be offered a gown to make it easier to complete specific tests and ensure your care is thorough.
