Your 1st appointment

The first appointment is a comprehensive assessment. Patients can expect this appointment to take approximately 40 mins. It is important to dress comfortably and to arrive 5 minutes before your appointed time to complete the necessary patient information forms.

The doctor will;

• Establish your medical history (bring any existing x-rays or scans)
• Check vitals if necessary
• Perform a physical examination including neurological and orthopedic tests
• Perform a chiropractic and postural assessment
• Diagnose your condition
• Formulate your treatment plan
• And proceed with your first treatment

Should the outcome of your assessment indicate the need for another specialist then the doctor will refer you accordingly.
