What to Expect
Your First Visit to our Practice .
The moment you enter North Sydney Spine & Health Center, you will feel relaxed by our
warm friendly environment and enthusiastic staff!
After completing your patient questionnaire, the next stop is the consultation room.
Your specially trained practitioner will spend some time with you, making sure you
understand how and why we do things, and we will want to talk about about your current
health issues and what we can do to help you.
We encourage you to ask as many questions as you like!
We then perform a thorough examination to determine how best to care for you.
The examination will consist of several assessments to show us disturbances in your nervous
system or other problems. We use state of the art technology to accurately assess your
problems. The tests are painless and non-invasive.
The two most important test we do are 1. digital postural analysis and 2. standing full spinal
postural x-rays.
1. Digital postural analysis and photos:
We take standing digital photos and use state of the art software
to analyse your posture. Areas of spinal stress, muscle tension,
postural changes, and the likely progression of your posture
with ageing is determined. Information gained is graphed and
stored on computers so we can monitor progress as we bring
you to better posture.
2. Digital X-ray analysis
Full Spinal digital x-rays are taken to determine the condition
and position of your spine, stress areas, and the likely
progression of your spine with time.
If we determine that we can help you we will invite you for a second visit to review the
findings of the postural photos, X-ray analysis and other findings with you in detail.
Our front office manager will assist you in scheduling a time for your second visit…usually
the next day!
Your Second Visit to our Practice .
On your report visit we explain what we found and how we may be able to help you.
One of our consultants will greet you and take you to the consultation room. We will provide
information that will explain the next steps in your chiropractic care.
We will review the findings of your xrays and posture scans. A program of care you will be
explained to you (including costs). Of course, any questions or concerns that you have will be
answered.
Your Regular Visit
On a typical visit you will sign the client register at the front desk.
When it is your turn, you will be escorted to a room to prepare for your treatment. The
chiropractor will assess any changes in your health status to determine what areas need to be
corrected for the day and answer any questions you may have.
These visits usually only take 5-10 minutes. Sometimes a therapy will need to be used which
may take an additional 10-15 minutes.
Periodically we will do a progress check to monitor your response to care and make an
individualised care plan.
