This appointment starts with a complimentary discussion and detailed medical history with Dr Anthony (Chiropractor) or a Chiropractor on his team. They will listen to everything you have to say and find out more about your problem and how it is affecting you.
If Dr Anthony (Chiropractor) or his team feels they can help you, you can continue forward with a paid thorough examination.
The examination includes comprehensive postural, neurological, orthopaedic and chiropractic examination. If clinically indicated you may be referred for spinal x-rays, which are fully covered by medicare.
Following the consultation, your Chiropractor will carefully analyse your history, examination and x-rays (if taken) to diagnose your problem and provide his best recommendations to you at your Recommendations Conversation.
