Frequently Asked Questions?

We are a long established, local, family run business, we’ve helped 1000’s of patients just liked you over the last two decades, here’s a selection of the questions we commonly get asked

Will my first appointment include treatment?

Whilst it’s often important to start with a detailed case history and conduct a clinical examination we try to include hands on or electrotherapy treatment on the first appointment wherever possible. The only exceptions to this may be where a client has chosen our 30 min new patient appointment or for initial assessment / suitability appointments for (IDD) spinal decompression therapy.

Do I need a referral letter from my GP or consultant?

No, whilst it’s a “nice to have” it’s not necessary if you are a self pay client, the vast majority of our self pay client just ring up book in (self refer)! If you plan on seeing us as an insured client (e.g. AXA) then your insurer may require you to be referred to us by your GP or specialised in order to authorise funding, so it would be best to check with them.

How frequent are the treatments you recommend?

This can vary depending on your problem, the treatment you are receiving and how acute your condition is. On average we advise clients to attend one or twice a week during the “first aid” phase of their treatment course, after that for chronic or degenerative problems that required maintenance sessions to maintain the progress these tend to be once every one to four months.

Will you try and sign me up to lengthy and expensive courses of treatment?

We don’t do high pressure or exaggerated scare tactics sales that you might hear about from other clinics, our ethos is focused on “patients’ (needs) before profit”. We believe in simple, good old fashioned advice, that’s as honest and ethical as possible. We say it as it is, then it’s up to you. We will give you an Action Plan or recommended treatment and advise, one thing you can be assured on is that this is based around established clinical guidelines and will never include more treatment than we genuinely think is necessary. For most conditions this is usually between 3 to 6 treatments, the exception being for spinal decompression which generally requires more sessions for maximum results

What happens during my first appointment?

You will greeted in reception then taken through to the treatment room. Firstly you will be asked a series of medical questions, we will then assess you by observing your posture, and feeling the movement and tissue quality of your muscles and joints (this may require the removal of some clothing). We then formulate and give you a treatment plan (Action Plan) to take home, this include written advice, we usually start this at your initial appointment. If there are any exercises for you to do we can arrange for video clips and detailed hand outs to be emailed to you. You will then be invited to pay for treatment (if you are self finding) and booking a follow up appointment(s) appropriate to you.

Elena Vismara ★★★★★ a year ago
I have been to spine plus multiple time for different problems. Today, I went back for my back. Juan is been amazing. He did acupuncture and massage the area. My muscles are relaxed and I feel much better; ready to go back to my running. Even in the past Juan and his colleagues solved all my problems with neck and vertigo. I trust them and I will definitely come back.
Fabio Manara ★★★★★ a year ago
I developed a shoulder problem with rock climbing and I went to see Juan at the clinic. Juan assess me and ask me some questions, he started my treatment with acupuncture following by manipulation to release some knots deep into my shoulder. I highly recommend him for his professionalism and for giving me many advices.

I reached out to spine plus with spinal and hip pain that was just not budging. I was provided Rodrigo’s details and the whole process from beginning to end was flawless. In the first session Rodrigo said “my aim is to get you to not need to come back” which is something I have heard many times from chiropractors, however this time that felt like his genuine intention. Providing me with treatment as well as educating me on how to prevent pain in the future. Today I feel in a much better position and able to get on with my life again. Thank you Rodrigo!
Satwinder Chaggar ★★☆☆☆ a year ago
I booked an hour session..only got about 15 min treatment. The guy left me waiting outside in waiting room and the treatment started late and finished early. I thought I was going to stretched around and twisted but instead I got some acupuncture needles in my back and neck.i was cold in the room without any towel to cover me ,I had to ask for my top. I only booked this after reading the reviews.
I was contacted immediately by Robert Shanks director of spineplus after the review I had given. He asked if I would like to have a hour treatment with another specialist. I went to a guy called Rodrigo Almeida who was a breath of fresh air when it came to my treatment. He talked me through everything he was doing to my back and neck and reassured me at every point. This is how a customer should and needs to be treated. Thank you Robert Shanks and Rodrigo.
Melinda Pell ★★★★★ a year ago
I went to Rodrigo at spine plus in agony having been suffering with acute upper back and neck pain for quite some time which was making me miserable. Through his care and treatment I am pretty much pain free! He takes the time to understand my pain and possible triggers and treat and suggest excercises to help. Rodrigo is extremely kind and professional and a credit to Spine Plus. Thank you for helping me.
