People come to us with all sorts of spine, joint and nerve problems. Some of the most common:
- Neck pain and stiffness, including the kind that builds up over long days at a desk.

- Lower back pain, whether it came on suddenly or has been grumbling for months.
- Shoulder pain that doesn't seem to settle on its own.
We can't promise an outcome before we've checked you. What we can do is find out what's going on and tell you honestly whether we think chiropractic care may help.
Your first visit
Your first appointment is a new patient appointment, about 30–40 minutes. We hear your story, take posture pictures, and do a thorough chiropractic, orthopaedic and neurological check of your spine, joints and nerves. Whether you're adjusted on that first visit is up to the clinical judgement of your chiropractor. Often more testing comes first, and sometimes X-rays, but only when your history and check point to them. The imaging clinic we refer to bulk bills X-rays our chiropractors request.
Your second visit is the report of findings appointment ($95). That's where you get answers: what we found, in plain English, and what we'd suggest.
The new patient appointment is usually $195. Book online through this website and it's $125, a saving of $70 (new practice members only, one per person).
