Central City and Takapuna Chiropractor
First Visit

You’ll be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

You will be greeted on your first 30 minute visit to our office by one of our wonderful Chiropractic Assistants. If you have any previous X-rays or previous case notes, you would have brought them with you. You will then sit in our reception area and listen to nice soothing music while you fill out a brief one page questionaire that starts the process of us getting to know who you are, and the needs that you have. You will note that all of the magazines are up to date and that there is a lot of inspirational and informative reading material.

You will then be taken into one of our consultation rooms (on time) where you will meet your Chiropractor. The Chiropractor will introduce themselves and start by asking you exactly what it is that you want from Chiropractic. You will have an opportunity to outline any of the reasons that have brought you here and what you wish to achieve through Chiropractic.

The Chiropractor will then briefly explain how Chiropractic works. They will then take a health history and conduct an orthopaedic and neurological examination. A decision will be made at this point about the necessity for an X-ray.

X-rays are used by Chiropractors to ascertain the condition of your spine. The X-rays are taken ot our offices by your Chiropractor. You will not be X-rayed if there is a chance that you may be pregnant.

You will not receive a Chiropractic adjustment during your first visit. The Chiropractor has to consider all of the information gathered in the examination and to study your X-rays. A decision needs to be made as to whether your needs will be best served by Chiropractic.

Dr. Nick  Asks some important questions of interest to Central City residents - Chiropractor Central City Dr. Nick Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimise our health and be all that you were designed to be.
