New Patients at Ponsonby Chiropractic
Welcome to our practice! We’re so glad you chose us for your healthcare needs. For your first visit, please complete our online forms, and bring any recent films or relevant test results when you come to the clinic.
When you arrive at our clinic, you’ll receive a warm welcome from our friendly chiropractic assistant and a health history form to complete. Our onboarding process consists of two visits, each about 30 minutes. Subsequent visits are typically 10-15 minutes.
After completing your paperwork, you’ll be taken to an exam room to meet our chiropractor. Your first visit starts with the consultation, where we discuss your history, the health concerns that brought you into the practice today, and your goals.
Once the doctor has an idea of what’s going on, you’ll undergo a physical examination which includes palpation of the spine, muscle testing, neurological and orthopaedic testing, and range of motion to help us better understand your nervous system health. If X-rays are indicated, we will refer you to Auckland Radiology Group, which is a short walk down the road.
On the second visit, our doctor will give the report of findings, results of your scans, and any X-rays taken. We’ll discuss what everything means and how chiropractic may help. We’ll outline our recommendations for care, and you’ll receive your care plan.
You’ll receive the first adjustment based on your plan. A combination of techniques may be used to provide the best solution for your needs.
Consistency of Visits Is Important
Each chiropractic adjustment is cumulative, building on the previous one. Regular visits allow us to discuss the progress of your care plan to ensure your goals are reached and maintained.
These convenient 10-15 minute visits can fit any schedule, even when combined with a massage. We provide a series of informational brochures as you progress in your care to stay informed and understand where your health stands.
Choosing a Lifetime of Health
A healthy spine helps your nervous system run smoothly, contributing to a healthier body and helping you function at a higher level.
Your health is your choice. We’d love to see you visit us for regular adjustments, but you’re in charge! Our fee schedule is as follows:
Cancellation and No-Show Policy
Cancellations are free when you allow us sufficient time. We do need time to be able to make your appointment available to another patient. If appointments are cancelled with less than 12 hours notice, or if you simply do not show up, you will be charged the full fee for your session.
Cancellations and ‘no shows’ significantly impact us, so this policy must be enforced; we trust you understand. See you soon at Ponsonby Chiropractic!
