Your First Visit

Your first visit with us is designed to get an overall picture of your current health status in order to be safe and thorough with you.  When you arrive on your first visit, you will be greeted by one of our friendly assistants who will ask you to complete some information on your health history and current lifestyle.

Your Health StatusOnce you have completed your questionnaire, the Chiropractor will be ready to see you for your consultation.

At Peak Potential, we pride ourselves on running on time, so expect to be seen at your scheduled appointment time.

The Chiropractor will then complete a thorough health history with you, asking questions about any specific complaint you may have, as well as questions about your overall current health status. Following your history, the Chiropractor will complete an examination of your spine and nervous system. The chiropractor will check your posture, examine the way that your spine moves, perform any orthopaedic and neurological testing that is required, and feel you spine, and surrounding muscles for the presence of imbalance or subluxation.

At the conclusion of your examination the chiropractor may wish to have some x-rays taken of your spine. Rest assured that we will take only the required views, and if you have had x-rays taken recently you may not need to have any taken at all.. The chiropractor will take your x-rays on site.

After your consultation, the chiropractor will take their time carefully reviewing your x-rays and comparing them with the results from the examinations performed today.

These results will be presented to you on your next visit.

Dr Matt Asks some important questions of interest to Mentone and Bayside residents - Chiropractor Mentone and Bayside Dr Matt Asks...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Mentone and Bayside parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
