Initial Consultation
Your first visit! The purpose of this visit is to find your
problems and determine if chiropractic is the best form of care
for you.
On this visit your chiropractor will:
Take a detailed history, by asking you a series of questions. If we think we can help, we will do a thorough examination consisting of:
We perform a thorough spinal examination which involves- The use of a temperature device which detects inflammation in your spine
- Thoroughly palpatating (feeling) your spine to determine where things aren't moving properly
- Performing orthopaedic and neurological tests if indicated
- Performing special tests which show us your flexibility and balance
- Taking x-rays of all or part of your spine using a state of the art digital x-ray machine giving us instant images
Once this is done, we will analyse your x-rays, review your history and examination findings. As this often takes considerable time and is usually done after hours, most people aren't adjusted on their first visit. We will usually explain our findings and give you your first adjustment the following day. We do make exceptions for people in a lot of pain and we will do our best to analyse your x-rays and give you an adjustment on your first visit to start the healing process immediatly.
Please allow 1 hour.
Report of Findings
Your second visit! Your chiropractor will explain what they have found on your x-rays and tell you what needs to be done to correct your problems and get you feeling and functioning better. You will receive your first adjustments to get you on the road to recovery.
Please allow 30 minutes
Standard Consultations
During a normal visit, your chiropractor will perform a thorough spinal examination and adjust the necessary areas. You will be given any advice, health tips or exercises you may need at that point in your care.
Please allow 15-20 minutes.
Progress Examinations
Although we check you thoroughly each visit, we are very serious about tracking your progress and monitoring your results. We therefore perform periodic progress examinations where we carry out a series of special tests to determine improvements in spinal function, range of motion, flexibility, muscles strength and several other indicators.
Please allow 20-30 minutes
