First Visit Chiropractic Clinic in Joondalup

Your first visit at Lakeside Chiropractic includes a thorough examination conducted by Dr Linda Schiller or one of our associate chiropractors. On arrival you are required to fill out information on your particular area of complaint as well as a consent form, these can also be found online on our website. Your medical history and description of your complaint will enable our chiropractors to draw a basis on what exactly is causing your symptoms on your first visit.

Some questions on your first visit may include: What is the main area of complaint? List of any previous treatments you have received for this complaint? List of medications you are taking?  Any previous trauma?  Any history of relevant operations? The location and other types of symptoms such as double vision, dizziness, ringing in the ears, shortness of breath.

Next a physical assessment of your body will be done on the first visit to narrow down your exact diagnosis. This physical assessment includes: Range of motion of the affected part, muscle tone, muscle strength, neurological integrity. Please wear loose clothing.

After going through the patient’s history and physical examination, diagnostic studies (x-rays, MRI, CT scans) can be done to reveal pathologies or structural abnormalities to further more confirm the patient’s condition.

On your first visit if needed we will then send you for bulk billed x-rays at insight clinical imaging which is also in Joondalup. If necessary we can also send you off to take a MRI or CT scans. Our chiropractors will treat you on your first visit if appropiate.
