What should I expect on the first visit?

The first thing a chiropractor will do is ask you about the health complaints about which you are chiefly concerned. You will also be asked about your past medical history, accident history, family history, dietary habits, other care you may have had, and your job type. Other questions might be asked to help determine the nature of your problems and the best way to go about taking care of them. A gentle physical examination will be performed in accordance with your chiropractors clinical judgment. Following these, clinical assessment may include x-rays and other diagnostic procedures. Regardless of your reason for seeing us, a full spinal examination and analysis if often performed to see if it’s affecting or causing your condition. Once your chiropractor has identified the problem/s, your care will be outlined and begin by way of adjustments and other supportive care and advice. Chiropractors use many sophisticated and varied techniques, and the specific procedure to be used will be determined and explained to you following your assessments. Under normal circumstances, adjustments don’t hurt.
