How Can We Help?

At Chimes Chiropractic, every new patient begins with a thorough one‑to‑one consultation and examination – because understanding your unique needs is how we deliver lasting results.

Step‑by‑step process:

1. Initial Consultation & Exam (30–45 minutes)
You’ll meet your chiropractor for a detailed discussion, followed by a comprehensive examination. This includes:

Neurological, orthopaedic and chiropractic testing
Blood pressure check, hand dynamometry, pulse oximetry
Up to 62 individual checks to build a clear picture of your health
If clinically indicated, we may take on‑site X‑rays for further insight.

2. Report of Findings (next day, ~30 minutes)
Your chiropractor reviews all findings and prepares a clear, verbal report. We’ll explain:

What the assessment revealed
Whether the issue can be improved
A proposed treatment plan (duration, frequency, cost)
Your X‑rays (if taken), so you see what we see

3. Your Decision – No Obligation
You can ask questions and decide whether to proceed. There’s no pressure – your comfort and confidence come first.

What’s Wrong?
Can it be fixed?
How long will it take?
How much will it cost?
