How to become a patient

Published: 17 Sep 2024

Are you curious about how to become a patient at Coffs Total Chiropractic?  Do you have a friend who would benefit and has questions about what’s involved?  Read on for more info…..

We often get the comment; “My last Chiropractor didn’t do any of this” when we see a patient for the first time.  And new patients wonder “Why do we need to fill in all these forms?”.

Well my simple answer is that we have to know what’s going on before we can do any treatment.

More specifically, if you need to have any sort of care, whether for pain relief or for prevention of problems from old weakness and imbalance, it is vital to know where you started from so we can plan your journey.

We have designed our new patient process to get a clear picture of what is happening from the beginning.  That way we can tell you what treatment is required, what you may have to do to help your recovery and how long it is going to take.

Call us

When you first reach out, you’ll speak directly with Cathy or Lisa, our friendly and caring team members who are genuinely interested in your well-being. They listen to your concerns and help you find a convenient time for your first visit. This initial interaction sets the stage for your entire experience, where your individual needs always come first.

Your History

At your first appointment, we focus on getting to know you. We start by taking a comprehensive health history, digging into your past medical experiences, current health issues, and personal goals. This step is crucial because it gives us a complete picture of your health.  And it helps us identify any underlying issues that may be causing your discomfort.

Examine the Spine

Next, we conduct a thorough examination of your spine and related areas, pinpointing specific problems that might be causing pain or limiting your movement.

X-rays

If necessary, we take X-rays to get a clearer view of your spine, ensuring we don’t miss anything during the physical examination.

Report Back to You

Once we gather all the necessary information, we sit down with you and explain our findings in detail. We walk you through what we’ve discovered and how it connects to the symptoms you’re experiencing. We will discuss any possible risks and make sure you are ok to go ahead.  Then, we work together to create a tailored treatment plan that directly addresses your specific needs and goals.

Treatment Starts

In the vast majority of cases we start treatment once we have all the relevant information.

At Coffs Total Chiropractic, we center our care around you. We reject one-size-fits-all solutions, focusing instead on crafting personalized treatment plans designed to deliver the best possible outcomes.
