What to expect on your first visit

Does chiropractic treatment hurt?
Most treatment is gentle. We choose techniques to suit your condition and comfort - and we'll always explain what we're doing and check in with you along the way.
What happens at the first appointment?
We take your history, examine you, explain what we've found in plain language, and - where appropriate - begin treatment. You'll leave understanding your condition and the plan.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition. We tailor the frequency to you and are upfront about it. Many issues settle in a small number of visits.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed to see us. If you have a GP referral under a care plan, bring it - see Services & Rebates for details.
