What to Expect on Your First Chiropractic Visit

People in Oakleigh and surrounding suburbs often search for a “chiropractor near me” when pain, stiffness, or reduced movement begins interfering with daily life. If you’ve never seen a chiropractor before, knowing what to expect can make the experience far more comfortable.

At North Road Chiropractic — serving the community since 1987 — your first visit begins with a detailed discussion of your health history and current concerns. We then assess posture, spinal movement, and function.

Where appropriate, we take postural spinal X-rays in-house to understand your spinal alignment and structure. We may also perform Computerized EMG scanning to assess muscle tension and nerve stress. EMG helps identify areas of muscle fatigue or imbalance that may be contributing to pain.

Once assessments are complete, we explain our findings clearly and discuss whether chiropractic care is suitable for you. If care is recommended, it is tailored to your goals, comfort, and preferences.

Some patients choose short-term care for symptom relief, while others continue care to improve posture and long-term spinal health. Our role is to inform and support — you choose how far you wish to go.
