Welcome to our Chiropractic family! If you’re ready to move better, feel better, and embrace a healthier lifestyle, you’re in the right place. Here’s what awaits you at your appointment.
Before your first appointment
You might be wondering what happens during the first visit. Here are a few things you can expect. When you book, we’ll send out some forms for you to fill in before the appointment via email or text. If you’re not able to complete them in this manner, then arrive a little before your appointment and we can assist you.
You won’t need to fully undress but we ask that you wear loosely fitted comfortable clothing – this makes it easier for us to assess you. We’ll need 45-60 minutes of your time to complete an assessment.
Medical history and physical examination
Once you’re comfortable and we’ve done our preliminary paperwork, we will take a full medical history from you before we get hands on.
The neurological and orthopaedic tests we conduct will be directed by the symptoms presented to us. Some tests are likely to be pain provoking, this is to help assist us in getting to root cause of your problem.
Treatment and treatment plan
During a Chiropractic appointment, patients receive a personalised treatment plan based on their health goals. After a thorough physical examination, the plan is explained to the patient. Once everyone is on the same page and the patient is comfortable, treatment begins. Chiropractors use various musculoskeletal techniques, including manual therapy and soft tissue techniques. Rehabilitation exercises play a crucial role in promoting recovery and overall well-being. Whether it’s spinal adjustments or targeted exercises, the focus is always on helping patients feel their best!
