At your first consultation we begin by taking a detailed medical case history. You will be asked questions about your problem, symptoms, medical history, previous injuries, medications you are taking and lifestyle factors which may be related to your condition. Your Osteopath will also look at previous medical reports / tests results  i.e. Xray, MRI or other scans if available.
