For your initial visit, you should bring or wear loose fitting clothing. We will be examining the part of your body that hurts and occasionally will look at other structures around the painful area. You should also bring your medicare card so that we can view any relevant previous medical tests such as X-rays or bloodwork that may be relevant to your health. If you have extended health care coverage, please bring your insurance card with you so we can direct bill.
Sometimes - in the case of a traumatic accident such as a fall, we may want to send you to another facility to make sure none of your bones are broken, or to rule out any other conditions. We do not take X-rays at our clinic, and they are not necessary to start a chiropractic treatment plan.
No. A chiropractor is trained and educated as a “Neuro - Musculoskeletal Expert” meaning we understand systems involving your nerves, muscles, bones, and joints throughout your body. We do have extra training in the spine, but that is not our only focus.
