Your First Visit
What to Expect
We want you to feel completely at ease from the moment you get in touch. Here is a clear, honest guide to what happens at Impact Chiropractic — from your very first contact through to ongoing care.
Your Care Journey
Every patient is different, but here is how a typical care journey looks.
Your Initial Consultation
Approximately 45 minutes
Your first visit is a dedicated diagnostic session. We begin with a detailed review of your health history — taking time to understand your current concerns, past injuries, lifestyle, and health goals. This conversation helps us build a full picture before we begin any physical assessment.
We then carry out a thorough examination including postural analysis, neurological testing, orthopaedic assessments, and functional movement evaluation. This systematic approach allows us to assess the function of your nervous system and identify any areas that need attention. If clinically appropriate, you may receive your first adjustment on this visit.
Your Report of Findings
Included in your first visit or a dedicated follow-up
After your examination, we will explain what we found in plain language — no jargon. We will discuss the function of your spine and nervous system, how this relates to your symptoms or health goals, and our recommended care plan.
You will have the opportunity to ask any questions. We want you to feel fully informed and comfortable before you make any decisions about your care.
Treatment Sessions
Approximately 15 minutes
Each follow-up session involves gentle, precise chiropractic adjustments tailored to your current needs and progress. We use a range of techniques and always adapt our approach to suit you, whether you are new to chiropractic or have been receiving care for years.
Sessions are focused and efficient. We will track your progress over time and adjust your care plan as needed.
Ongoing Wellness Care
Flexible — we work around you
Many patients choose to continue with regular care as part of a broader approach to their health and wellbeing. This is entirely your choice. Some people visit monthly, others less frequently — we will support whatever works best for you and your goals.
