​Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on the spine. At Living Well Chiropractic we consider the whole body, not just where you are experiencing symptoms. By taking time to understand your symptoms, health and lifestyle we are able to provide you with a working diagnosis, meaning you receive the right type of care.
Chiropractic Appointment Types
Below is a summary of the Chiropractic Fees, along with further details to explain the fees.​
​Initial Consultation and Assessment £25
Initial Consultation and Assessment PLUS first treatment (£25 + £40) £65
A consultation is required before chiropractic care can be provided. At your first appointment the Chiropractor will conduct a consultation and assessment. A verbal report of findings will be provided and if chiropractic care is appropriate, a working diagnosis, prognosis and plan of care will be provided.
​
If you wish to commence with Chiropractic care and time allows at the consultation appointment, you can receive your first adjustments at this appointment.
​​
As the resolution of symptoms and return of function is a healing process, it is normal for a Chiropractor to recommend a course of care. It is normal for Dr Claire Laidler to recommend between 4 to 6 adjustment sessions, which usually involves one to two appointments in the first and second week, and then one appointment in the third and forth week. Each appointment is taken at a time, and the appropriateness of the recommended care is always reviewed.
​
Chiropractic Appointment £40
Chiropractic appointments are for patients under-taking their initial plan of care following an initial assessment, for regular maintenance and those who are symptomatic.
​
Chiropractic adjustment sessions usually involve one or some of the following: chiropractic adjustments, patient exercise/posture education, low level laser and/or soft tissue release.
Wellness Plus Appointment £35
For those patients who have completed an initial course of care, they then have the option of commencing the Wellness Plus Plan. This is an ongoing maintenance plan with chiropractic or massage appointments every one to three months.
The reasoning and benefits of maintenance care will be explained in detail when you attend clinic, but in brief, patients usually start having chiropractic care due to experiencing symptoms, though these symptoms may have resulted from years or even decades of biomechanical compensation and dysfunction. Being adjusted regularly assists with maintaining the removal of biomechanical interferences at the spinal column, benefitting the nervous system and enabling the body to manage biomechanical imbalances which result from old accidents, poor postures and daily stress.​ Read more...​​​​

Reassessment FREE
Reassessment PLUS first Treatment £40
​
This type of appointment is for existing patients, who haven't attended clinic for 12 months or more and for those existing patients who are attending clinic with new symptoms which haven't been assessed before.
There is no fee for chiropractic reassessments, though if chiropractic is appropriate, a plan of care will be outlined, and care can be commenced at the reassessment appointment. The charge for this will be £40.
