What to Expect
At Health Inc Chiropractic, addressing your health concerns is our goal. We want you to feel relaxed and ready to start the healing process. In an effort to build trusting patient relationships our goal is to explain in advance what you can expect to happen on each visit with us.
Your First Visit
On your initial visit you will sit down with the chiropractor to discuss your health concerns and your health goals. We’ll take a thorough health history and ask you about your lifestyle so we can get an accurate picture of your overall health. This consultation will give us an idea of whether your problem can be helped through chiropractic.
Once this is determined you will receive a thorough examination. The examination will concentrate on your neuro-musculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles and joints), but it may also be necessary to examine other areas such as your heart, lungs and abdomen to confirm accurate diagnosis. The exam will also consist of:
- Taking your weight, height, and BMI (body mass index)
- Body fat composition
- Waist-hip ratio
- Blood pressure
- Resting pulse rate
- SpO2
- Vitilograph
- Flexibility tests (spine, upper and lower extremities)
- MyoVision scanner
- Orthopeadic examination
- Neurological examination
- Further tests – as necessary
If any X-rays or MRIs are necessary we can refer you to another facility. After the examination, you’ll be scheduled to come in for a second visit. Please be advised that your normal clothing is fine to wear on each visit with us, and we can have you change into a gown if the need arises.
First Visit Duration: 45-60 minutes

Your Second Visit
This visit is called the Report of Findings. During this visit we will provide you with detailed information of what we have found and answer the following questions:
- What’s wrong?
- Can you help me?
- How long will it take?
- How many visits are recommended?
- When can we start?
We’ll recommend a care plan based specifically on your needs to help you achieve your health goals and provide a personalised report summarising our findings for you to keep. We suggest you bring someone with you to this appointment that can support you on your way to better health. We also encourage you to take an active part in this healing process to speed up the improvements.
Second Visit Duration: 30 minutes
Went in feeling nervous but came out feeling really relaxed and hopeful that treatment will work. Vicky was so attentive and friendly too. I received information about my test results very promptly.

When you come in for regular appointments, you’ll be greeted in reception and generally sent straight through to the chiropractor. We will re-evaluate you every 6-8 sessions, going through your notes to make sure you are responding and improving.
Routine Visit Duration: 10-15 minutes
