Do we require X-rays?
FAQ
After a thorough examination and history our chiropractors will decide whether x-rays are a necessity or not. If the chiropractor deems x-rays as a necessity it will be because they need more information to determine a diagnosis and therefore be able to prepare an accurate care plan and realistic time-frames.
If x-rays are required we will refer you to a local bulk billing x-ray facility.
Do we work with pregnant women?
We do work with pregnant women. In fact most of our Chiropractors have spent many hours in further learning to ensure pregnant women are under amazing care in our practice.

This is to ensure the Chiropractor has all of the information compiled to create an individually tailored care plan that will help you to hit your goals as quickly as possible. The first appointment is the initial consultation where your Chiropractor will perform a thorough history and chiropractic examination including orthopaedic and neurological examinations. After the completion of your initial consultation the chiropractor will decide if further imaging is required.
The second appointment is your Report of Findings. In this visit the Chiropractor will explain to you how care works and what your specific x-ray and examination findings are. Your chiropractor will have created your tailored care plan and will explain how that plan will help you to reach your goals. If you decide to begin care on that day the we will have set aside time for you to be adjusted straight after your Report of Findings.
