NEW PATIENT
During your first visit to our chiropractic clinic, you can expect personalized care from our compassionate staff. The chiropractor will ask about your health history and current health issues, and may conduct a physical examination. If necessary, the chiropractor may recommend X-rays or other imaging tests. Based on the findings of the consultation and examination, the chiropractor will develop a care plan that may include gentle adjustments of spine, exercises, and lifestyle recommendations.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
During your first visit you can expect the following:
Firstly, to feel welcome from staff who is caring, who listen and who are passionate about your health.
Pre-consultation: We will have received your completed new patient forms prior to your first visit in order to be well prepared to cater for your case.
Consultation: The chiropractor will ask you about your health history, current health issues, and any past injuries and future health goals. We may also ask about your diet, sleep patterns, exercise and lifestyle habits.
Physical examination: The chiropractor will conduct a physical examination. This may include tests such as range of motion, posture assessment, specific chiropractic ckecks and relevant orthopaedic/neurological tests.
X-rays/Imaging: The chiropractor may recommend X-rays to get a better understanding of your spine condition, posture and alignment. We have onsite DR digital xrays using the latest high resolution radiation minimising technology available. If required other scanning may be referred for such as MRI/ultrasound/CT
Titronics infrared thermographic scan: Paraspinal and comparative thermographic scanning technology is used to assess skin temperature. This may be altered in regions of spinal problems, inflammation, poor blood flow or sympathetic nervous system imbalance.
Care plan: Based on the findings of the consultation and examination, the chiropractor will develop a care plan that may include gentle adjustment of your neck and spine, exercises, and lifestyle recommendations.
