Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No referral is usually needed to book an appointment.
In most cases, you can book an appointment directly without obtaining a referral from your GP or another healthcare provider. This makes it easy to schedule an assessment whenever you're experiencing discomfort or have concerns about your musculoskeletal health. However, if your health insurance provider requires a referral for coverage, it's a good idea to check with them beforehand.
What happens at the first visit?
Your chiropractor will discuss your history, assess movement, and explain suitable next steps.
During your first appointment, your chiropractor will take the time to understand your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals. They will perform a movement and physical assessment to identify the possible cause of your condition. Based on the findings, they will explain their assessment, answer your questions, and discuss the most appropriate treatment or management plan tailored to your needs.
Will treatment be provided on the first visit?
If appropriate, your chiropractor may discuss care options after the assessment.
Treatment may be provided during your first visit if it is considered safe and appropriate after the initial assessment. In some situations, your chiropractor may recommend further evaluation or discuss different care options before beginning treatment. They will explain the reasoning behind their recommendations and ensure you understand the available options before proceeding.
Can I use private health insurance?
Yes, we are private health friendly. Check with your provider for details.
Many private health insurance plans provide coverage for chiropractic care. If you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim part or all of the treatment costs depending on your policy. It's recommended to contact your insurance provider to confirm your level of cover, eligibility, and any claim requirements before your appointment.
How long does the assessment take?
Most first visits take around 30–45 minutes.
An initial chiropractic assessment typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. This allows sufficient time for discussing your medical history, understanding your symptoms, performing a physical examination, assessing movement, and explaining the findings. If appropriate, your chiropractor may also discuss treatment recommendations or begin care during this visit.
When should I seek urgent medical advice?
If you have severe or worsening symptoms, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin area, or significant leg weakness, seek urgent medical advice.
Certain symptoms may indicate a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention. If you experience severe or rapidly worsening pain, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or saddle area, significant leg weakness, or any other concerning neurological symptoms, you should seek urgent medical advice or visit the nearest emergency medical service as soon as possible. These symptoms should not be ignored and require prompt evaluation by a medical professional.
