What to expect when you visit Journey Chiropractic
Visiting a chiropractor for the first time can feel like a big step and you might not know what to expect — but at Journey Chiropractic in Edinburgh Park, we make it simple, clear and comfortable.
From your initial consultation and posture assessment to tailored care plans, our chiropractor will guide you through every stage. Whether you’re an adult, a pregnant mum or a parent bringing a child for gentle paediatric chiropractic, you’ll know exactly what to expect before and during your visit to our Edinburgh Park / South Gyle clinic.
Initial Consultation (approx. 30 minutes)
Before your first chiropractic visit, you’ll receive an Initial Consultation Form via email to complete. This helps us understand your medical history and current concerns.
During your first visit, we will:
• Take a detailed health history
• Perform a comprehensive physical assessment, which may include:
Neurological tests
Metabolic assessments
• Determine if imagings or referrals are needed
The goal of this consultation is to listen carefully to understand what’s going on, assess whether we can help you, and plan the next steps.
Typically, no treatment is provided during this first consultation.

Report of Findings & First Treatment (approx. 30 minutes)
On your second visit, we will review the findings from your initial consultation. You’ll be informed about:
• Your diagnosis
• How chiropractic care can help
• A personalized & tailored treatment plan, including the number of sessions and any exercise or maintenance care recommendations
After you agree and provide consent, your first treatment will take place during this session.
Follow-Up Treatments (approx. 15 minutes each)
Subsequent visits will include:
• Full-spine adjustments
• Exercise and lifestyle guidance
• Herbal and mineral support
• Any additional therapies as needed
Some patients may require longer sessions, such as pregnant patients or those with mobility challenges.
Progress Reviews (approx. 30 minutes)
Throughout your treatment plan, progress review sessions will be scheduled to monitor progress and adjust care.
These sessions are slightly longer than standard treatments, as it depends on your treatment plan, and will be discussed further during your Report of Findings.
