If you’re new to Chiropractic…
It’s important for us to explain things in advance so we can establish a successful partnership.
Chiropractic care is not a quick-fix, it is a process that involves a series of visits, with each one building on the one before.
Results depend on this therapeutic relationship going the distance, and timing of visits is crucial, so your understanding of who we are, what we do and why we do it is very important.
We want you to feel comfortable and confident you’re in the right place so please read ahead so you know what to expect.
People usually see a Chiropractor because…
1) They are experiencing pain, discomfort or limitation and need relief
2) They feel good but understand the importance of optimal spinal function in maintaining good health
First Visit - New Patient Initial Consultation
(allow 45 mins for this appointment and also arrive 10 mins prior to complete paperwork)
After completing paperwork regarding your health history you’ll meet our Chiropractor who will review your file, ask questions and discuss your areas of concern to help evaluate your condition.
A comprehensive assessment including structural analysis, relevant neurological/orthopaedic testing will be carried out to determine the underlying cause of your concerns.
Treatment will usually commence at this visit after you and the Chiropractor discuss your consent form and cover any questions you may have. In some cases more info may be needed to correlate your findings before treatment or you may need to be referred to another professional for an opinion. You may be given a written referral for radiological imaging (eg bulk-billed X-rays) to gather more information or support exam findings.
At your first appointment you’ll be given home care recommendations and initial scheduling advice.
