Your goals
What you want to return to or manage more comfortably.
If you are experiencing mid-back or rib-area pain that changes with movement, breathing, posture or touch, a careful assessment can help clarify whether the presentation appears musculoskeletal and whether chiropractic care may be an appropriate option. Not every case is suitable, and no website can diagnose the cause of pain.
Dr Sandhu will ask about your symptoms, health history, activities, work, goals and concerns, then carry out an appropriate physical examination.
The findings and any uncertainty will be explained. Further investigation, GP input or referral may be recommended when indicated.
What you want to return to or manage more comfortably.
How movement, load and daily activities affect symptoms.
Relevant neurological, orthopaedic and functional findings.
Warning signs and factors that may change the safest route.
Current ASA/CAP guidance permits carefully worded chiropractic advertising relating to musculoskeletal joint pain and generalised aches after serious causes have been excluded.
This does not mean every person with that label is suitable or that treatment will produce a particular outcome.
Manual or lower-force joint techniques where appropriate.
Soft-tissue or movement approaches.
Exercises and graded activity guidance.
Posture, work or ergonomic advice.
Review, change of plan or referral if progress is not as expected.
Dr Sandhu will explain the expected benefits, material risks, reasonable alternatives, likely costs and what may happen without treatment before asking for consent.
You can decline a technique, choose another option or withdraw consent at any time. Temporary soreness or stiffness can occur; technique-specific risks will be discussed for you.
The £49 new-patient consultation includes your history, physical examination, posture scan, ergonomic guidance and an explanation of the findings. Treatment is not included.
An optional same-day first treatment is a separate £69 only if clinically appropriate, available and consented; the possible total is £118.
No. Assessment comes first and another route may be recommended.
Not routinely. Imaging is considered only when clinically indicated and likely to affect management.
Any estimate follows assessment and includes a review point; you remain free to change or stop care.
No. Response varies and the plan is reviewed against goals that matter to you.
