1 – Your First Appointment
Consultation – The first visit typically lasts up to 30 minutes. Your chiropractor will chat with you about the pain and symptoms you are experiencing. You will have time to talk about how it’s really affecting you, your life, what it stops you from doing now and how it could affect your future. Your chiropractor will then undertake an examination and assessment of you and your spine.
Examination - They will do key diagnostic tests as well as a posture assessment.
If X-rays are required your chiropractor will discuss this with you.
All information is gathered at this appointment so that a tailored plan can be put together to achieve your goals.
2 – Your Report of Findings Appointment
Your Results – The second appointment, usually 1-3 days later, lasts 30 minutes. Your chiropractor will go through your findings from your first visit, your personal goals, what we recommend is the best plan of care for you, how long we expect it to take and how much it will cost. There is plenty of opportunity for questions.
First Adjustment – If you are happy with everything that is discussed in this appointment you will then be able to start care and receive your first adjustment in this appointment, which is included in the fee. Your first “adjustment” to your spine is the gentle start on your journey to better health. Most patients feel better to varying degrees after their first adjustment, However, it is possible to feel a little stiff the following day as the body adjusts to using your muscles in the correct way.
