Your Initial Consultation

When you first arrive at One Body Chiropractic, you will be greeted warmly and welcomed to our practice by our friendly Chiropractic Assistants. After filling out the essential but brief initial consultation forms, Dr Emily will meet with you to listen to and discuss your concerns.

The first step in an initial Chiropractic consultation is to confirm that you are indeed a Chiropractic candidate. We need to make sure you are in the right place to get the care that you need! This is done by asking a series of questions. This way, we can find out exactly what is going on and how we may be able to help you. If at any time during the consult Dr. Emily feels someone better in the community may cater to your goals and needs, she will let you know without hesitation.

Dr. Emily will then perform a gentle, complete, thorough examination. This will determine whether or not we will be able to help you and the extent of your problems.

Once all examinations are complete, Dr. Emily will know exactly whether an X-Ray image is required. We don’t want to guess with your health. Not all cases will require X-Rays; this is determined individually once all examinations have been performed ( X-rays are referred to Lake Imaging where medicare will cover the fee with our referral).

Once you have been examined and Dr. Emily has gathered all the required information, you will be able to schedule your second visit. This is known as the ‘Report of Findings’. It’s at this visit that she will then be able to explain what was found through the examination, posture assessment, X-Rays; using the Pennings Study and Hiltons Law.
This will then confirm the best recommendations of care based on the latest science + evidence-based research to correct the underlying problem - so you can reach your targets and goals and return to your best self.
