Your First Visit
At Potter Chiropractic we want to make your first visit as comfortable as possible.
Below is what to expect on your first visit with your Chiropractor –
– Upon arriving 10 minutes early you’ll be greeted by our lovely staff (Dee or Nikki).
– You will be given a detailed questionnaire to complete so you can describe the details of your condition.
– Next you will meet with your Chiropractic doctor who will listen closely to your concerns.
– Your doctor will thoroughly reveiw your health history and determine if yours is a Chiropractic case.
– A physical examination involving orthopaedic and neurological tests will be performed to determine the underlying cause/s of your problem.
– If necessary your Chiropractor will order X-rays to help formulate the correct diagnosis (Free of charge with Medicare rebate).
– Before proper care can begin your doctor will correlate all the findings and diagnose your condition from the history and physical examination.
– If yours is a case of severe pain the doctor may suggest the application of ice, heat or other anti-imflammatory products to help with discomfort.
– The initial visit with your doctor is 40 minutes.
– Prior to leaving you will be given a welcome pack and the recommended time for your next appointment.
