Your Consultation
The Procedure
You will have a consultation with a consultant, during which you can discuss your symptoms, your medical history and ask any questions that you may have.
Your consultant will discuss the procedure with you so you know exactly what to expect. Your consultant may also discuss if any further diagnostic tests may be needed, such as a blood test or scan, with you.
We understand that this can be a daunting time so our friendly and caring team will be sure to put you at rest and make your experience with us, as comfortable as possible.
The procedure usually takes 20 minutes and you will be under general anaesthetic (asleep) throughout as this makes the muscles more relaxed which aides the procedure.
The consultant will then manipulate your spine, moving it to its full range of motion. They may also inject a local anaesthetic to ease any post-operative pain.

Post Procedure
Following the procedure, you will be taken to a recovery room to recuperate until you are ready to go home, once you are fully recovered from the anaesthesia and you will need someone to drive you home as you won’t be able to drive immediately following the procedure.
We offer a multidisciplinary approach to our procedures, so we can offer further care such as physiotherapy, should you need it following your treatment too.
Pain Relief
Your joint may feel sore after the procedure so we will give you pain relief medication while you’re with us and to take home with you.
