Q: What happens during my first chiropractic appointment at Campbelltown Chiropractic?

Your first appointment includes a comprehensive musculoskeletal and nervous system assessment to identify the cause of your pain or dysfunction. This allows the chiropractor to create a safe, individualised care plan.

  • Detailed health history
  • Orthopaedic and neurological testing
  • Explanation of findings and next steps

Q: How long does an initial Chiropractic consultation take?

An initial consultation typically lasts 45–60 minutes to allow a thorough assessment and time for treatment. This timeframe ensures accurate diagnosis and tailored care, especially for busy Campbelltown locals balancing work, commuting, and family life.

  • History taking
  • Physical examination
  • Discussion of results

Q: What should I wear to my first Chiropractic appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement during examination. This helps accurate assessment of spinal and joint motion, particularly for patients coming from work or training sessions around Campbelltown.

  • Activewear or casual clothes ideal
  • Avoid restrictive clothing

Q: Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

You do not need a GP referral to see a Chiropractor in Australia. Campbelltown Chiropractic accepts direct bookings for musculoskeletal care. However, you can get 5 treatments per year heavily rebated though the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan if eligible.

  • No referral required
  • CCMP require GP involvement

Q: What medical history should I bring to my appointment?

Bringing relevant medical history helps ensure safe and effective Chiropractic care. This is especially important for patients with prior imaging or long-standing conditions. Please bring any relevant imaging with you for your first appointment.

  • Past injuries or surgeries

Q: Will I receive treatment on my first visit?

If clinically appropriate, treatment often begins on the first visit. This may include spinal manipulation or soft tissue therapy after assessment.

  • Safety checks completed first
  • Patient consent required

Q: Are X-rays required before chiropractic treatment?

X-rays are not routinely required and are only recommended if clinically indicated. This evidence-based approach avoids unnecessary imaging. We do have an X-ray machine on site if imaging is needed, allowing results to be discussed on the same visit.

  • Trauma or red flags may warrant imaging
  • Referrals arranged locally if needed
