What to expect on your first visit to Stott Chiropractic
A warm welcome is number one on our list; we know only too well that you are likely to be a little apprehensive at your first visit to a chiropractor; not knowing what to expect can often make any of us a little nervous. However, at Stott Chiropractic, the moment you enter our warm, friendly environment you will be made to feel totally at ease. Our experienced team will do whatever it takes to ensure that your visit with us is a pleasant one.
When you arrive the first thing we'll do is to prepare your file and establish a detailed history of your overall health. Next your Chiropractor will perform a thorough examination incorporating orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic tests. Then, if necessary, your Chiropractor may also take digital x-rays to provide more detailed information about a specific condition. Combining all this information gives us a clearer picture to be able to deliver the best possible recommendations for your health.
Note – Paperwork is inevitable, however the process can be shortened by your downloading and printing the form at home prior to your first visit. Completing this before you arrive at our Seventeen Mile Rocks practice will save you time. Click here to download the form.
Your Second Visit
Report of Findings
On your second visit to Stott Chiropractic, your Chiropractor will take you through your Report of Findings.
This gives a detailed explanation of Chiropractic care and how it is relevant to your individual situation. Your Chiropractor will make specific recommendations as to the most appropriate action to take. You will have the opportunity to question and discuss your case and communicate your health goals so we can understand your priorities.
It is normally at this stage that many people realise that Chiropractic care offers much more than they originally thought and it soon becomes apparent that you don't need symptoms in order to benefit from Chiropractic care. Others are regularly introduced to the improved quality of life that regular Chiropractic care offers as a result of this discovery.
High Tech Help from Stott Chiropractic
At our practice, we make use of some of the best science and technology available to help us obtain a better clinical picture of your health – so that, in turn, we can do better for you.
Our pre-adjustment consultation will consist of:
- A detailed case history of your condition, including past episodes, past treatment (if any) and medical/surgical interventions.
- A thorough physical examination including Orthopaedic, Neurological and Chiropractic testing.
- X-rays - when necessary, we utilise our on-site digital x-ray facilities to take spinal x-rays. These x-rays are analysed by both your chiropractor and a radiologist.
In addition to 'Hi Tech' analysis, Stott Chiropractic also utilise modern adjusting tables that have multiple Drop-Piece segments as well as an Activator Instrument that can be used to deliver very low-force adjustments when appropriate.
