Questions before your appointment.
Clear information about how appointments work and what you can expect.
What happens at the first appointment?+
We discuss your current concern, health history, goals and relevant lifestyle factors. A physical examination may follow. We then explain our findings and discuss options, including whether chiropractic care appears appropriate.
Will I be adjusted at the first appointment?+
Your initial consultation includes assessment and, where clinically appropriate, treatment during the same appointment. We will explain the proposed approach, answer your questions, and you can decide whether you would like to proceed.
Do I need a GP referral?+
You can usually contact a chiropractor directly. If your presentation suggests another healthcare professional or investigation is more appropriate, we will explain that and recommend referral.
Are you registered with private health insurers?+
Yes. Krisztina is registered with Vitality, WPA and Aviva. Cover and reimbursement arrangements vary between policies, so please check the terms of your plan with your insurer before booking.
How many appointments will I need?+
There is no fixed number. This depends on your presentation, goals, response and preferences. Your plan should be reviewed rather than assumed in advance.
What techniques may be used?+
Depending on your assessment and preferences, care may include joint manipulation or mobilisation, soft-tissue techniques, dry needling, movement or exercise guidance and practical self-management advice. We explain each option beforehand so you can choose the approach that feels right for you.
Can I book during pregnancy?+
Yes, pregnant patients can book for assessment of musculoskeletal concerns. Positioning and techniques are adapted where appropriate.
What should I wear?+
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily is usually best. If a specific examination requires different access, this will be explained and your consent sought.
Is parking available near the clinic?+
Paid parking is available at The Mall Wood Green East and West car parks. Current tariffs are £3.00 for up to 2 hours and £4.30 for 2–4 hours on weekdays, or £6.00 for up to 4 hours at weekends. Use N22 6LN for the East Car Park or N22 6TB for the West Car Park. Morrisons Wood Green car park is another nearby option; please check the signs on arrival for its current parking terms and maximum stay. Disabled bays are available at The Mall, but charges apply. Please check The Mall Wood Green website for the latest prices before travelling.
When should I seek urgent medical help instead?+
If you think you may have a medical emergency, do not wait for a chiropractic appointment. In the UK call 999 for emergencies or use NHS 111 for urgent advice when appropriate.
