WHAT HAPPENS AT THE INITIAL CONSULTATION?
This is the longest appointment for a reason, we allow 30 minutes to discuss your current health state and your health goals. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other better and determine if you are in the best place for your needs.
You can expect your Chiropractor to take a thorough history followed by a comprehensive neurological and chiropractic exam to gather as much information as we can about you. If appropriate, you may be referred for x-rays at this stage. X-rays are bulk billed and will be no additional cost to you.
WHAT IS A REPORT OF FINDINGS?
This is your second appointment and usually takes 20 minutes. Your Chiropractor will go through all the findings from your initial consult, if x-ray imaging was required, your chiropractor will also review those. Based on your findings you will be given a plan of care specific to you. After discussing and agreeing how we will move you closer to your health goals you will then receive your first adjustment.
WHAT IS AN ADJUSTMENT?
With all the information gathered from the 1st and 2nd appointments, at this stage your Chiropractor will know where your body needs to be adjusted. This is when your Chiropractor, typically, uses their hands to gently and specifically re-aligned your spine and allow your body to move and communicate freely. There are many different techniques available and your Chiropractor will tailor your adjustments to suit you.
