Chiropractic guide
What to expect at a first chiropractic appointment
A first chiropractic visit usually includes a detailed history and examination before any treatment. The listing should say how long to allow and whether imaging or a follow-up is discussed separately.
Allow time for assessment
First appointments are often longer than follow-ups. Wear clothes you can move in and bring any relevant medical letters. Ask what the visit includes before you book if the listing is brief.
Useful questions
- What will the first appointment cover?
- When would you usually see someone again?
- What should I wear?
- What is your cancellation policy?
