Your first visit with us
What to Expect
When you first visit, there’s a bit of paperwork that we need in order to help our Practitioners determine the right way to manage your concerns.
You can download these forms to fill in before your appointment by clicking here, or you can complete them by arriving prior to your appointment.
Once the paperwork is completed, your Chiropractor will review your forms and conduct an interview along with a series of chiropractic, orthopedic and neurological tests to establish the state of your spinal health.
If required, we will take x-rays in our clinic (additional fees apply). Under normal circumstances, we don’t recommend x-rays for people who aren’t fully grown, and we never x-ray pregnant or suspected pregnant women.
Once we have collected and assessed all the relevant information, your Chiropractor will give you their recommendation for treatment and an adjustment will be completed as required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No! You don’t need a referral for Chiropractic. There are some exceptions though. You may need one if you are a DVA, workers compensation, motor vehicle accident or Enhanced Primary Care patients.
Does Chiropractic hurt?
Most Chiropractic adjustments are painless. You may hear or feel a ‘pop’ as you’re adjusted though.
How often should I have my spine checked?
Each person is different and will have different needs. After a thorough assessment from your Chiropractor they will recommend a care plan tailored to you. They will reassess periodically to ensure your care plan is meeting your needs.
Can I have Chiropractic care while pregnant?
Of course! Our Chiropractors are certified in Webster Technique to provide gentle, safe and effective Chiropractic care for our expectant mothers. Webster Technique is a specialised adjustment to the pelvis that may help for a more comfortable pregnancy for mum.
