What should I expect from my first visit?
On arrival, one of our experienced reception staff will ask you to fill out a health questionnaire. Once this is completed your chiropractor will take a thorough history, including discussing the nature of your complaint and how it is affecting you. This helps your chiropractor to determine the cause and status of your current complaint. Next, your chiropractor will conduct a comprehensive examination.
In some cases, your chiropractor may require further information about your condition and will refer you for imaging such as spinal x-rays or MRI.
Once your chiropractor has a thorough understanding of your condition, they will advise whether chiropractic care is right for you.
In most cases care will be provided on the day, unless it is not clinically indicated.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring any previous imagining that is relevant to your current condition. This includes X-rays, MRI’s and CT scans and reports.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing such as active wear, however we understand this is not always possible.
