Contraindications

A contraindication is a condition that serves as a reason to NOT take a certain treatment due to the harm that it may cause you.

You will be asked to confirm your relevant medical history and any issues that could act as a contraindication in your free consultation. Please be open and honest about any / all conditions past and present, any / all relevant information – so that we can advise you appropriately.
