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.
How do I book an appointment?
It’s easy! You can book by telephone or via the online booking link on our website.
Do you offer same-day or urgent appointments?
What should I expect from my first appointment?
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.
Do you accept insurance?
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.
Does it hurt?
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.
What is the clicking sound?
How long will it take to get better?
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.
How often will I need appointments?
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.
Can children or teenagers see a chiropractor?
Yes! Chiropractic care is safe and effective for most children and teenagers. We provide age-appropriate assessments and treatments to support growing bodies. At Bognor Regis Chiropractic, we welcome patients from age 4 and above.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is considered a safe, non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing many musculoskeletal issues. Licensed chiropractors receive extensive training to ensure treatments are gentle, precise, and appropriate for each patient’s age, condition, and overall health.
What can I do between appointments?
Will my treatment be tailored to me?
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.
Do I need to bring anything to my first appointment?
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.
What should I wear to my appointment?
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.
