What to Expect
Your First Visit to Nyuü Chiropractic – What to Expect
Every journey starts with understanding.
At Nyuü Chiropractic, we believe that before we can discuss how to help you, we first need to understand you.
Whether you're visiting a chiropractor for the very first time or you've received chiropractic care before, we understand that you may have questions about what to expect.
That's why we take a considered, step-by-step approach, beginning with listening to your story and understanding what has brought you to us.
Your First Appointment – Getting to Know You
Your first appointment is all about you.
When you arrive at Nyuü Chiropractic, Dr Keith or Dr Chris will take the time to listen to your concerns, discuss your health history and learn more about what you're experiencing.
We'll talk about what has brought you in, how your concerns may be affecting your everyday activities and what you're hoping to achieve.
This is your opportunity to ask questions, share your concerns and tell us what matters most to you.
Because understanding your story is just as important as understanding your body.
Once we've listened to your story, your chiropractor will complete an initial examination to gather more information about your current presentation.
Depending on your individual circumstances, this may include assessments of your movement, posture, spinal function and other relevant physical or neurological examinations.
If further investigations, such as X-rays, are clinically indicated, your chiropractor will discuss these with you.
The purpose of this appointment is to gather the information needed to better understand your concerns and determine the most appropriate next steps.
It's important to know that your first appointment is focused on consultation and examination, not chiropractic adjustments.
We understand that some people may expect an adjustment during their first visit. However, at Nyuü, we believe it's important to complete the assessment process before discussing whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
Your Second Appointment -Your Report of Findings
Following your initial consultation, your next appointment is called your Report of Findings.
This is where we bring together the information gathered during your first visit.
Dr Keith or Dr Chris will sit down with you to explain:
What they found during your examination.
What those findings may mean in relation to your concerns.
Any relevant X-rays or other investigation results, if required.
Whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for you.
The options available and recommended next steps.
We want you to feel informed, comfortable and involved in any decisions about your care.
There is time to ask questions, discuss your options and understand the reasoning behind any recommendations.
If chiropractic adjustments are considered appropriate, your chiropractor will explain what these involve and discuss the next steps with you.
Why Do We Take This Approach?
Because no two people are exactly the same.
Your health history, experiences, concerns and goals are individual to you.
Rather than making assumptions or rushing into an adjustment, we want to take the time to gather the relevant information, explain our findings and help you make informed decisions.
First, we listen. Then, we understand. Together, we discuss what comes next.
First Appointment
Here our #1 job is to listen to you so that we understand you, and your current problems. We take a very thorough clinical history where we investigate your health and what has lead you to get to this point.
Once we understand your history, we take a comprehensive examination to find the cause of your problem. We use chiropractic, postural, neurological, orthopedic and physical examinations, and if needed you may be referred out for x-rays.
What to Expect
1
Report of Findings
In your second visit we will discuss our findings in more depth. We will explain to you how you got to this point in an easy to understand way. We will go over your x-rays if they were required. Here we will know how we can help you. We will then create a plan for your chiropractic care to get you well and help you achieve your health goals. Together we will create a schedule that works to get you the results you are searching for.
2
Regular Appointment
Once we know how to help you, and we have a schedule, your regular adjustments will move you closer to your goals. Regular appointments take around 10-15 minutes to complete.
3
Re-examinations
It is important that we know you are making the progress we expect to see. Which is why we reassess you on a regular basis. Comparing your progress and posture to when you started. This is our favourite part as we love seeing the changes in people.
