What to expect on your first consultation
Initial Consultation
For your first consultation, please allow 40 to 60 minutes.
-
You do not need a referral to visit our practice as a new patient. Most of our patients have been referred to us by family, friends, a GP or allied health professional; however, this is not necessary.
-
Please bring any imagining (x-rays, CT or MRI scans), relevant reports and comfortable clothing.
-
We will discuss your medical history, perform a thorough physical, neurological and orthopaedic examination, make an accurate diagnosis of the source of your pain and any underlying factors.
If we can help − we will.
If we think someone else should − we will refer you.
-
In some circumstances, for further testing, medical imaging may be required to achieve a comprehensive understanding of your case. In such circumstances, a referral will be organised on your behalf and relayed back to the practitioner upon completion.
-
Treatment techniques used by our practitioners vary between practitioners and profession but often include; soft-tissue and joint mobilisation/manipulation, dry needling, sports taping, and real-time and therapeutic ultrasound. Manual therapy is complemented with injury-specific digital exercise programs to enhance recovery.
All techniques used will be discussed during the consultation.
-
It depends on the location and type of problem.
As a general guide with spine-related issues, a consultation with our Chiropractors or Physiotherapists is recommended.
Our Physiotherapists are best for the assessment of limb or muscular injuries/rehab.
If your concerns are feet or ankle related, then Podiatry will be an excellent place to start.
-
Yes. All major private health funds offer chiropractic, physiotherapy, podiatry and remedial massage services - usually on their 'extras' table. However, annual limits do apply, and the reimbursed amount will differ. Check with your health fund to find out your exact cover.
-
No. However, our practitioners will refer you to an imaging centre for further investigations if imaging is clinically required.
