What your first appointment involves
You start with a new patient appointment, about 30–40 minutes. We hear your story, take posture pictures, and do a thorough chiropractic, orthopaedic and neurological check.
Whether you're adjusted on that visit is up to the clinical judgement of your chiropractor. Often there's more testing first, and sometimes X-rays, only when your history and check point to them. Those X-rays are bulk billed at the imaging clinic we refer to.
Your report of findings appointment ($95) is where you get answers: what we found and what we'd do, in plain English.
