New patients
Your first visit, step by step
No adjustment on day one. Ka Kin finds the cause first, explains it on your second visit, and only then starts treatment.
Visit 1
Initial consultation
Your first visit begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr Ka Kin, where you'll discuss your health concerns, symptoms, medical history and the reason for seeking chiropractic care.
Visit 1
Chiropractic examination
Dr Ka Kin then carries out a thorough chiropractic examination to assess posture, spinal alignment, movement and overall function. It helps identify areas of imbalance or restriction that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Visit 1
X-rays, if required
In some cases a series of chiropractic X-rays may be recommended, to give a complete clinical picture. £40 per body region.
Visit 2
Report of Findings
Booked after your first visit, so Dr Ka Kin has time to review your examination results and X-rays. He explains your findings in clear, easy-to-understand terms and outlines a personalised care plan. Your first adjustment is on this visit. You're welcome to bring a family member or support person.
After that
Ongoing care
All adjustments are performed by Dr Ka Kin. Depending on your care plan, he may add stretching, exercise instruction, postural advice or lifestyle recommendations. Questions are always encouraged. On average, patients need 8 to 16 sessions; it depends on your condition.

Will I be adjusted on my first visit?
No. Your first visit is a thorough history and assessment to identify the cause of your symptoms. Your first adjustment is on your second visit.
Is chiropractic right for me?
We assess for any conditions that may need extra caution or onward referral. If you're unsure, the first consultation is free, so you can find out whether it's right for you.
Is chiropractic safe?
Yes. The risk of serious harm is very low. Soreness for up to 24 hours can occur, especially early on.
Is there an age limit?
There's no upper or lower age limit. We have treated patients from just a few days old to those in their nineties.
What if I'm under 16?
You must attend with a legal guardian.
What training do chiropractors have?
Chiropractors train full-time for five years, learning medical diagnosis, radiography, radiology and chiropractic skills. We are primary care practitioners specialising in nerve, muscle and joint problems.
Is the chiropractor registered and insured?
Yes. Ka Kin is registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and fully insured.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing. We provide medical gowns if needed, and we respect your choice to remain clothed.
What is the cracking sound?
It's gas being released from the joint, not bones cracking.
What should I feel after a session?
Most people feel less pain and more relaxed. Some feel tired or sore as the body heals.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. We're a family practice, and your family members are most welcome.
Your first consultation is free.
No obligation: find out whether chiropractic can help before you commit to treatment.
