New Patient Appointment
Your new patient appointment will be conducted by one of our chiropractors and you can expect to be in clinic for around 40 minutes*. Your chiropractor will will go through a thorough case history with you and elicit information about your concern/problem. At this stage, we will establish what you want to achieve through Chiropractic care and start to better understand why your body is responding the way that it is.
*this is an approximate guide. The absolute time that you are in clinic will depend on how you present at your new patient appointment.
A comprehensive examination
A comprehensive chiropractic physical examination will be performed which will test your reflexes and range of motion, as well as many neurological, orthopaedic, postural, and physical examinations. A full postural evaluation and digital posture analysis may also be performed during this appointment.
Our primary concern is to find the root of the problem so that we know how to best treat you.
Report of Findings
At this appointment, your Chiropractor will have already reviewed the findings from your New Patient appointment and will summarise the nature of the problem, expected outcomes from care and the pathway to achieve your specific goals. This will include an explaination of the type of treatment you will be proivded, the frequency you will need to attend and the role you can play in facilitating a better recovery.
Continued Care
Chiropractic adjustments are specific and controlled manipulations, which add motion to restricted areas and help to restore proper function. Other times a slower, constant pressure is used to release the tension. At the time of your first adjustment, everything will be explained to you to ensure you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Remember, we are experienced, very well trained and highly qualified experts.
As a guide, initial adjustments are usually more frequent and, generally speaking, our experience tells us two times a week for your initial phase of care creates the best and fastest results. As the problem starts to recover and your body becomes accustomed to its correct alignment, adjustments become less frequent until the point where the problem can be managed with a regular maintenance check-up, just like a dental check-up or spine MOT. During continued care, specific posture exercises and other home care advice may be prescribed to aid your recovery.
Regular progress checks will be conducted to measure your progress and to provide up to date information about the recovery of your condition. This ensures your care plan is always evolving to get the best results possible.
