Referral to the service
You can be referred to us by your GP.
We will contact you to arrange a convenient appointment for your initial assessment. Depending
on your assessment, you may be offered a course of treatment and your next appointment will be
booked for you before leaving the clinic.
We will report back to your GP regarding your treatment and any on-going care.
Appointments
On your initial visit you will have the opportunity to explain what the problem is. With your
consent your therapist will examine you. Following your assessment your osteopath will prepare an
individualised treatment plan for you.
Your assessment and follow up appointments will last up to 45 minutes.
You have the right to have someone with you as a chaperone. We can supply a chaperone if this
is needed.
Things to remember
You may need to undress so please dress appropriately or bring something with you to change into. For example, shorts if the problem is with your back or female patients may wish to wear a vest top
for shoulder or neck problems.
Please bring a list of medication with you, if you take any.
Where can I be seen?
We offer osteopathy at St Catherine’s Health Centre, Tranmere and the The Warrens Medical Centre, Arrowe Park Road.
When we call to make your appointment we will explain your options and you can choose one that
is convenient for you.
We are only able to treat you for the reason you have been referred. Any additional
treatment requires a separate referral. Please speak to you GP.
