Pricing & Appointments

What to expect during your initial consultation

Your first appointment will take at least one hour and will include us talking through the reason you are coming to see us. Longer appointments for the initial visit gives the clinician time to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic can help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem. We carry out, amongst others, neurological and orthopaedic examinations, ensuring that your nerves and bone structure are working and moving to their full function, and then discuss the findings with you. Our patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance.

After we study your health history and correlate our examination findings, this may include referring for X-rays or MRI scans, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. If care is appropriate, then we will discuss care plans specific to your case. On occasion, we may suggest a referral to an alternative health professional which we will assist you with.

If all is straight forward and you are happy to proceed we will endeavour to provide  treatment at the initial consultation appointment

Your treatment and care plan

After the investment of time needed on the initial consultation, assessment, and 1st treatment, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.

In a word: no. A typical clinic visit may require 30 minutes, or can go for 45 mins, depending on the symptoms presented. But we always schedule a minimum of 30 mins per session.

But don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value. With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up the condition of your spine and nervous system, adjust you and get you on your way. If you originally come to see us because you have a particular injury or pain your initial plan of care will focus on improving your function and form. Your first few appointments may be close together, e.g. a couple a week and then space out until your symptoms are reduced. We will then discuss with you any recommendations for stabilisation and maintenance, which could be a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or bi-annual visit. All entirely optional and suggested to ensure your optimum health and function.

We recognise your time is valuable. So we do everything possible to run on time and minimise the impact on your busy life.
