FAQ

What can I expect on my first visit?

On your first visit you will be greeted by our friend Chiropractic Assistants and asked to complete our intake form. This form gives your chiropractor great insight into your current condition and health history. Your chiropractor will then take you through a thorough clinical history, a comprehensive physical, neurological and postural examination. X-rays may be required, which we can perform at specific clinics. From there your chiropractor will give you a full explanation of their findings and if clinically indicated you will receive a management plan and start with your care plan on that day.
