Your First Chiropractic Visit: What to Expect

On Your First Visit

Our friendly staff will welcome you on your first visit to our chiropractic clinic in Jimboomba. You will be asked to complete a health history form if you haven't done so before arrival. This helps us understand your health concerns and events or experiences. It is important to arrive up to 10 minutes early for your appointment as this may take a little time. 

While Dr Theo, our chiropractor, reviews your health history, you will watch a short video about subluxation, its causes and treatment, the history of chiropractic, and the dispelling of myths. Dr Theo will then conduct a comprehensive postural assessment, strength and structure tests, and spinal X-rays are referred to Exact Radiology on site. If you have any previous X-rays or imaging, bring them to your appointment, as these may be of value to Dr Theo. Dr Theo will present you with your examination results and clinical findings. If we believe we can help, then care typically begins on the same day. Please allow up to 45 minutes for this consult. 

During Your Second Visit 

Dr Theo will ask about your body's response to your first adjustment and answer all your questions. He will tell you what we can do to help, how long it may take, and how much it will cost. You should allow 10 minutes for your second visit. 

After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length, in a word: no. A typical office visit may require just two to three minutes. But don't think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, Dr Theo can quickly adjust you and get you on your way to enjoying a healthier spine and a less physically stressed day. 

On a regular adjustment visit, you will be warmly greeted by one of our lovely Chiropractic Assistants, who will register your name. Once in the adjusting area, if other patients are waiting, please sit and read some educational information or a magazine. You will notice there are two adjusting tables in this area. When a table becomes available, Dr Theo will call you up; lie down and relax while you wait for your adjustment. 

Following the adjustment, we ask that you grab a cup of water. The majority of our patients choose our membership. If you choose this option, you will not be required to do anything else. If you choose to pay at each visit, the Chiropractic Assistant will organize your payment and provide you with your receipt. For your adjustment to have the best effect on your spine, we ask that you go for at least a 2-minute walk before getting into your car.
