What to Expect
Before Your Appointment
Once you have decided that chiropractic is for you, you can take the first step by booking your consultation through our convenient online booking service, or call us on 0131 550 3712.
Upon booking your consultation you will receive a confirmation email, please read this carefully as it has important information you will need for your appointment. It will also contain a link to an online form. To get the most from your time with your chiropractor please fill in this form prior to your appointment.
It is often best to bring loose fitting and comfortable clothing such as exercise gear, this is not essential though as gowns can be provided to change into. If you need glasses to read, please bring these along with you.

During Your Appointment
When you arrive at the clinic simply push the buzzer for ‘Shield Chiropractic’ and you will be buzzed into the building where you will be greeted by the chiropractor. You will be taken through to the treatment room where we can have a chat about the information you have given us on the online form. If this has not been filled in then we can cover everything we need to at this stage.
Once the chiropractor feels they have all the information needed to start on an examination, they will leave the treatment room and let you get changed into the gown. When you are ready the chiropractor will come back in to start the examination.
After the examination the chiropractor will then sit you down and explain exactly what the problem is, how it likely came about, what the chiropractor can do to help, and how you can also help to expedite your recovery. Once you understand what is going on and you are happy to start with chiropractic care, you will receive your first treatment.
Once the treatment is finished, you may get changed. If required, a further booking will be discussed at this point.
