Our Unique Chiro Process - What to Expect
Our Chiropractic Approach
We approach chiropractic treatment in a process of diligent care that helps your body repair itself from the ground up for lasting results. Our philosophy applies whether you’re experiencing postural or movement issues, paediatric or pregnancy needs, recovering from a sports injury, or simply need a specialist to relieve nagging neck or back pain.
This approach involves three chiropractic phases:
1) Relief Care
2) Corrective/Restorative Care
3) Wellness Care
Your First Chiro Appointment
From calling us to walking into our Frankston or Ivanhoe clinics and experiencing your first appointment, you will be welcomed as part of the Health First Chiropractic family. You will notice that your needs will be listened to and considered throughout your journey with us.
Below are the basics on the steps we undertake with our new chiropractic patients. Read more detailed information on our first visit page.
- New Patient Forms
You will complete simple patient forms that will provide us with your health history and more info on your condition. - Chiropractic Consultation
At the start of your consultation, Dr. Angela Kopp will discuss your concerns and potential treatment options. Here, Dr. Angela Kopp can learn more about you and help set expectations to determine how our chiropractic care can help you meet your goals. - Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Angela Kopp will carry out a complete chiropractic examination with your consent and comfort in mind. First, we’ll test your reflexes and flexibility, and then any neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests may be performed as well. If you’re pregnant, our assessment may include tailored techniques as part of our pregnancy chiropractic approach to ensure safe care.X-Ray Studies – needs dependent
Depending on your condition, we may recommend X-rays as well. X-rays help give us the most effective treatment plan for you and can alert us to any serious spinal conditions.
- Report of Findings
Once the details are collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Angela Kopp will give you a detailed report of her findings and answer any questions to discuss how we can help, what your treatment plan can look like, and cost expectations. She will also help recommend any other local providers if necessary. - Chiropractic Treatment
At the end of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment session. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Our treatments are interactive to ensure you feel comfortable and that we can reduce pain as much as possible. - Self-Care Wellness Program
It’s important that we work together for you to experience the best recovery. Our chiropractor may suggest activities to do before your next appointment. This may include: ice or heat application, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at-home exercises or stretches. Our experienced wellness team can also work with you also to create healthy habits and routines customised to your lifestyle and goals.
