WHAT TO EXPECT?
DAY 1: INITIAL CONSULTATION. (1 HOUR)
Your initial consultation at Headache and Neck Clinic is focused on gathering important information to understand your condition. This includes:
-
Detailed history taking to better understand your symptoms and health background.
-
Physical and neurological examinations to assess your overall health and any specific issues.
If you have any prior imaging studies such as CT scans, MRI scans of the neck or brain, please bring them to your consultation. These can help us gain a more complete understanding of your condition.
At the end of the consultation, we will discuss whether a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan is necessary for further assessment. If a scan is required, we will arrange the appointment and contact you once the report is complete to discuss the next steps.
DAY 2: REPORT OF FINDINGS &
ADJUSTMENT BASED ON THE FINDINGS
(1 HOUR)
After your Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan, you will receive a detailed report of the findings. We will provide a thorough explanation of the 3D imaging results, ensuring you understand the key factors related to your condition.
In this consultation, you will also receive informed consent before any treatment is provided. We believe in empowering you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your care. Only if you are comfortable and happy to proceed, we will move forward with the treatment plan.
In many cases, adjustments will be tailored based on the findings from the 3D imaging, allowing for a personalised treatment plan focused on addressing the root cause of your symptoms.
DAY 3: FOLLOW UP VISITS
(30 MIN)
During your treatment process, we will regularly assess your progress to ensure the most effective care. Headache cases typically respond positively within 6 to 8 visits. However, other neurological symptoms may take a longer period to show improvement.
Please note that individual outcomes may vary, and your specific response to treatment will depend on your unique condition and health history.
