What can we help with?
You don’t need to know exactly what is causing your symptoms before contacting us.
We’ve included some of the common problems people visit The Hive Health with below. If your symptoms aren’t listed, or you simply don’t know where to start, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in the wrong place.
Chiropractic or osteopathy?
You don’t need to work out which profession your condition “belongs” to before booking.
For the problems we commonly see at The Hive Health, there isn’t a condition that automatically needs to be seen by a chiropractor rather than an osteopath—or vice versa. Both are regulated healthcare professions, and although there are some differences in training and clinical approach, there is considerable overlap in how our chiropractors and osteopaths assess and treat people.
In practice, the individual practitioner—their experience, treatment style and approach—often matters more than their professional title.
We also work as a team. If your practitioner believes that another member of the team or a different healthcare service would be better suited to your needs, they’ll explain why and help direct you appropriately.
Not sure if we can help?
You don’t need to know your diagnosis before booking a First Visit.
Many people come to us because something doesn’t feel right, their symptoms are affecting everyday life, or they simply want a clearer understanding of what may be going on.
A First Visit gives your practitioner time to listen, assess you and explain what they find. If we think you’re in the right place, we’ll discuss the options available. If we don’t, we’ll tell you honestly and help you understand what to do next.
If you’re genuinely unsure whether you should book, you can contact us to request guidance by email or a callback from one of our practitioners.
What happens next?
A First Visit lasts approximately one hour and costs £65, payable on the day. Your practitioner will listen to what has been happening, carry out an appropriate assessment and explain their findings and recommendations.
Your first treatment is included if treatment is appropriate and you are happy to proceed.
An assessment does not automatically mean that treatment will be recommended. If we don’t believe The Hive Health is the appropriate place for you, we’ll explain why and advise, signpost or refer you as appropriate.
