The First Visit

Patient history, examination and gentle TREATMENT

Our chiropractic assistant will be the first person you see, helping you complete the necessary paperwork before you see Dr Saxon Selvey (Chiropractor). The two of you will sit down for a detailed chat to discuss your history, current problems and health goals. We’ll complete a thorough examination to identify the cause of your problem.

If X-rays are needed, Dr Saxon (chiropractor) will write you a prescription and they are bulk-billed at a local radiology centre.

Patients do not need to remove clothing during their visits, but we do ask that you wear loose-fitting or flexible clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement. You can plan on being here for about an hour. Your First Visit includes some gentle treatment wherever possible.

The Second Visit

Your report of findings

Your report of findings visit is an exciting one! You will finally get to hear and understand what is going on in your body. If X-rays were taken they will be explained in simple but detailed terms. Many of our patients say the X-ray analysis Dr Saxon talks them through was unlike anything they had ever had before and informs both optimal treatment and exercise recommendations. Allow about 30 minutes.

Subsequent Visits

Moving better, feeling better.

By now we know what the problem is and what we need to do. Your subsequent appointments will be quicker than the first two. Each visit corresponds to our tailor-made program to help you reach your goals. Dr Saxon (chiropractor) will detail exercises you can do at home to increase your progress. We may recommend rehabilitation work that uses equipment such as posture poles and spine orthotic devices.

Our focus in the long term is moving you towards optimal function by addressing your posture and movement patterns. We’ll reassess you regularly using specific software and in office mini-exams, objectively measuring your progress to ensure you are moving towards your goals.
