What to expect at your first appointment

A visit to the Chiropractor is a bit different for each individual, depending on the style of the practice, the practitioner and the complaint being treated. Here is what you can expect at an appointment with a Movement Studio practitioner. If you have any questions or concerns about your appointment, please give us a call.

For every new patient coming to Movement Studio, without exception, your Chiropractor will:

Ask you why you came to see them.
Ask you about your personal and your family medical history (where relevant)
Conduct a physical examination that contains both neurological (brain function) and orthopaedic (muscle and skeleton) tests

We are committed to providing the highest standard of health care to every patient. These steps are fundamental to patients receiving this standard.

After the initial consultation your Chiropractor may:

Refer you to another health care provider for alternate or complementary health care; such as a remedial massage therapist, psychologist or your GP.
Recommend you have x-rays done before any chiropractic care is undertaken.
Recommend that Chiropractic is appropriate for you.
