A thorough Initial Consultation
You'll start your care with us here. Our Initial Consultation includes an in depth consultation, assessment and hands-on treatment. You'll leave this visit knowing what is wrong and how to right it.
​
The physical assessment includes:
-
Posture Analysis
-
Range of motion assessment
-
Palpation (checking with my hands): the status of your muscles, tendons, fascia, and joints.
-
A screen of your nervous system
-
Checking vital signs
-
Functional and Orthopaedic testing
This assessment gives us a complete picture of where you are with your musculoskeletal system.
After your consultation and assessment, your Chiropractor will summarise their findings to you so that you have the option to consent to treatment (if deemed appropriate).
If necessary we can make onward referrals to other healthcare providers for things such as imaging (x-rays, MRI etc) and other tests. However, in most cases this is not necessary for us to make a diagnosis.
