NEW PATIENTS FIRST VISIT
THE BE FIT CHIRO NEW PATIENT PROCESS
01
Comprehensive History & Assessment
Your visit begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, lifestyle, and daily activities. We then complete a thorough physical examination of your spine, muscles, joints, and movement patterns. This helps us pinpoint the most likely cause of your lower back pain and understand how it affects your life.
02
Clear Diagnosis & Personalised Plan
Using everything gathered from your assessment (and x-rays if required), we provide a clear, easy-to-understand diagnosis. You’ll know exactly what’s causing your pain and the steps needed to overcome it. From there, we create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your condition, goals, and lifestyle.
03
Targeted Chiropractic Treatment
Your care is specific to your needs and may include hands-on adjustments, instrument-assisted techniques, soft-tissue therapy, and corrective strategies. Each approach is designed to restore movement, reduce nerve irritation, relieve pain, and support your body’s natural healing process.
04
Ongoing Progress Tracking & Prevention
We monitor your progress regularly to ensure your treatment is effective. As your pain improves, we guide you through prevention strategies such as rehabilitation exercises, maintenance care, and lifestyle advice. Our goal is not only to relieve your symptoms—but to help you stay pain-free and performing at your best long-term.
WHAT TO EXPECT AS A NEW PATIENT
On your first visit, you’ll begin with a guided tour of the clinic and complete intake forms covering your health history. Your chiropractor will then review this information with you, discuss your concerns and health goals, and carry out a comprehensive examination. This includes assessing your spine, posture, range of motion, nerve function, and balance. If required, X-rays or other diagnostic tests may be recommended to gain further insight. Following your assessment, your chiropractor will explain the findings and outline a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your needs and aimed at relieving pain or discomfort. Treatment may begin on the same day if clinically indicated.
HELPFUL TIPS AFTER YOUR TREAMENT
Stay Hydrated: Aim for around 2 litres of water per day to support recovery and help your body flush out waste.
Move Gently: A short 5-minute walk after your adjustment can help keep your body relaxed and mobile.
Use Ice for Discomfort: Apply an ice pack to sore areas to reduce swelling and pain—10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, as needed.
Eat Well: Choose a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support healing.
Avoid Harmful Habits: Limit alcohol intake and avoid smoking, as both can slow recovery.
Consider Supplements Carefully: Magnesium may help with muscle cramps, while fish oil or glucosamine can support joint health. A multivitamin may aid overall healing. Always check with your chiropractor or healthcare provider before starting supplements.
Stay Active with Prescribed Exercises: Follow the exercises and stretches recommended by your chiropractor to strengthen your spine and help prevent future issues.
Prioritise Sleep: Adequate rest is essential for healing and recovery.
Use Proper Neck Support: A supportive pillow can help keep your neck aligned with your spine while you sleep.
Keep Your Appointments: Regular visits help ensure optimal care and long-term results.
