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.
