Visiting a chiropractor for the first time can feel unfamiliar. This page outlines what typically happens at each stage of care, so you know what to expect before you arrive.
My approach is gentle, individualised, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on — not rushing you through a process.
Gentle, personalised approach
Clear explanation before anything is done
Aimed at improving movement, comfort, and confidence
Your First Visit
Your initial consultation allows us to fully understand your condition and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
During your first visit we will:
- Review your pre-filled history, including your primary concern and general health
- Discuss your goals and concerns
- Perform a thorough musculoskeletal and neurological examination
- Carry out relevant orthopaedic and functional testing
- Refer for imaging such as X-rays if clinically appropriate
If I don’t believe chiropractic care is the most appropriate option for you, we will refer you to the right professional — and there will be no charge.
If appropriate, treatment may begin during your first visit. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and nothing is done without explanation or consent.
Allow up to 45 minutes
Your Second Visit – Report of Findings
At your second appointment, we review the findings and X-rays from your assessment.
This visit is focused on clarity. We’ll discuss:
- What we believe is contributing to your symptoms
- What can reasonably be done to address it
- What results you might expect
- How long recovery or improvement is likely to take
You will also receive:
- You will receive a personalised plan of care, which may include chiropractic treatment, exercises, or practical recommendations to support longer-term improvement.
- There is no pressure to proceed — this visit is about informed decision-making.
Approximately 30 minutes
Ongoing (Standard) Visits
Ongoing visits are usually shorter and focus on progressing your care plan.
These appointments may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Gentle manual techniques
- Rehabilitative or movement-based exercises
- Review of progress and symptom changes
Care plans are regularly reassessed and adjusted based on how you’re responding.
Approximate time: up to 10 minutes per visit
