Most people commence chiropractic care because they are experiencing some kind of pain or discomfort. This may be severe, sudden-onset pain in the back or neck which may radiate down an arm or a leg. It may be an ongoing, nagging ache which is slowly worsening. It may be headaches. Or it may be an injury to another joint like the shoulder or knee. Whatever the case, the first part of any treatment plan is to provide relief of your symptoms and restore movement to the affected area.
The purpose of your first visit is to determine the cause of your problem. We will listen to your concerns and decide if yours is a problem that chiropractic care can help. If x-rays are required, we will refer you to Qscan, the bulk billing x-ray clinic located at Q Super Centre.
We will discuss the findings of your examination and x-ray findings. We will discuss treatment options to achieve your recovery in the best possible way. This will include making you aware of any associated risks and any lifestyle modifications which may be helpful.
Once the initial consultation examination, report and treatment plan have been discussed, chiropractic treatment will continue. We will review your treatment and assess your progress. Any additional exercises you can do to assist your recovery will be discussed.
