What to expect at your first visit

A good first appointment should feel structured, calm, and specific to you—not rushed.

1) Before you arrive (forms + context)

After you book, you’ll usually receive a confidential consultation form. This helps your chiropractor understand:

  • your current symptoms and how they started
  • past injuries and relevant medical history
  • lifestyle factors (work setup, training, sleep, stress, etc.)

2) In-clinic assessment

Your chiropractor will typically assess things like:

  • how you move (bending, rotation, walking pattern if relevant)
  • joint range of motion and key muscle groups
  • appropriate orthopaedic and/or neurological screening (when indicated)

3) Clear explanation + plan

You should leave knowing:

  • the most likely drivers of your symptoms (based on the assessment)
  • what the plan is and why
  • what to do between visits (simple, realistic steps)

4) Treatment (if appropriate on day one)

Treatment varies by person and presentation. It may include hands-on joint work, soft-tissue techniques, and basic rehab guidance. Outcomes differ between individuals—care is tailored and should be explained before anything is done.

  • If you’re claiming, confirm whether your insurer requires a referral (requirements vary).
