New Patients

What to Expect

Welcome to our clinic. As a new patient, we have put this page together to guide you through what to expect on your first visit and how we aim to help.

A new patient consultation at Central Highlands Chiropractic typically involves several steps which includes;

1. Medical history: We begin by taking a thorough medical history, asking you questions about your symptoms, any previous injuries or medical conditions, and your overall health.

2.    Physical exam: Next, we will perform a physical exam, which may involve assessing your posture, range of motion, and any areas of pain or discomfort.

3.     Diagnostic tests: Depending on your specific symptoms and medical history, the chiropractor may order additional diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, to help determine the underlying cause of your pain or discomfort.

4.     Treatment plan: Based on the information gathered during the medical history, physical exam, and any diagnostic tests, the chiropractor will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may include  discussion around what your treatment goals are, chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, stretches, and other therapies designed to reduce pain and improve mobility.

5.     Education: As part of your consultation, the chiropractor will likely provide you with education about your condition, including advice on lifestyle changes, exercises to do at home, and other self-care strategies that can help support your recovery.
