What to expect on your Initial Consultation
You will be required to fill out our Initial Assessment Form.A thorough history will be taken, and if appropriate this will be followed by a physical assessment to identify the ‘cause’ of your complaint.
It is also recommended that full spinal x-rays are taken which help to complete our understanding of the cause of your pain or discomfort.
At this point the Chiropractor will discuss their findings with you. If the concern is outside of the scope of Chiropractic care or further examination is required, we will take the appropriate measures to refer you in the right direction to receive the correct care for your concern.
If we believe we can help, our practitioners will discuss their approach to treatment with you, and if you are happy with what is proposed, treatment can commence on your initial consult (if appropriate).
The initial consult can take between 30 – 45 minutes.

Chiropractic is best known for helping with low back pain, neck pain and headaches. However most clients are surprised to find that chiropractors also achieve great success with a huge range of other problems affecting the body. The reason is that chiropractic addresses the health of the whole person. Remember, your nervous system keeps you healthy – so by keeping your nervous system free from interference, you will have better overall health.
What types of problems does Chiropractic help?
Do I need a referral?
No – chiropractors are licensed primary health care professionals who examine, diagnose and care for patients directly without any referral.
Will my private health insurance cover chiropractic care?
Typically yes – most health plans cover chiropractic to a certain annual maximum. Please contact us if you are unsure and we can check with your fund.
Does an adjustment hurt?
Adjustments should not be painful – your chiropractor is specially trained to perform adjustments with little or no discomfort. In acute conditions you may feel a slight discomfort that should pass as your body begins to heal itself.
How many adjustments will I need?
The number of adjustments varies with each patient and their individual health goals. Many patients sense progress within a week or two of frequent visits. Visits become less frequent as your spine stabilises.
How long before I feel better?
This varies from person to person, and many factors affect the healing process. How long have you had your problem? Are you keeping your appointments? Are you getting the proper rest, exercise and nutrition? Do you smoke? Most patients sense enough progress within a short period of time to carry out the chiropractor’s recommendations.
Is chiropractic care safe?
While all forms of care carry some risk, chiropractic care has been shown repeatedly by research to be one of the safest and most effective forms of health care. By avoiding drugs and surgery, chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record. A recent study found chiropractic adjustments are about 100 times safer than taking an anti-inflammatory drug.
Can I have chiropractic care after back surgery?
Yes – your chiropractor will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. Surgery can cause instability above or below the affected level. These areas will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
Can patients with osteoporosis receive chiropractic care?
Yes – your chiropractor always considers the special circumstances of each patient and selects methods of care suitable for them.
How long will I need chiropractic care?
It is always your decision as to how long you choose to benefit from chiropractic care. Most people choose to continue with scheduled “wellness care” after their initial period of care. This is because they want to maintain all the great progress they have made. These patients show up for their visits feeling great. These visits help to detect and resolve new problems before they become serious. Our job is to offer the very best care and your job is to decide how much of it you want.
