FAQ

This visit is all about getting to the root of your issues and identifying the cause. You are asked to please arrive early and fill out a new patient form involving a detailed medical history. Your chiropractor will ask you all the relevant information about you and your issue in the consultation, followed by a thorough examination involving all the clinical tests required. The examination normally involves orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic testing by your chiropractor. After this visit, your chiropractor will analyze your case and present their findings to you in the subsequent visit.

Once we have all the information from the initial consultation and examination, your chiropractor, will analyse your findings and formulate a plan of management for you. At your second visit, your chiropractor will give you a detailed verbal report and treatment (if safe and indicated). At this visit you'll be told what's wrong, how to fix it and how long it should take. Once your chiropractor has gone through all of their findings and recommendations with you, with your consent, your care will begin (if safe and indicated).
