What to Expect on Your First Visit
If you’ve never been treated by a chiropractor, you might be wondering what the experience will be like. It’s normal to feel a little anxious, so our goal is to put you at ease right away.
Your first visit allows your chiropractor to get to know you, your health history as well as uncover the root cause of your concerns. Your consultation, spinal assessment and adjustments will all be done in private rooms. You will remain fully clothed for the duration of your visit, so we recommend you wear non-restrictive clothing to make it easier to move freely during your assessment.
