New to The Body Clinic?
If you’re considering chiropractic care but aren’t quite sure what to expect, you’re not alone. This page is here to answer common questions and help you feel confident about your first visit.
Is Chiropractic right for me?
​​Chiropractic care can help if you:
​
-
Feel uncomfortable, stiff, or restricted
-
Experience recurring aches or tension
-
Want to support your body’s movement and function
-
Are interested in proactive, wellness-based care
-
Have tried other options without lasting results
You don’t need a referral, and you don’t need to be “broken” to benefit. Many people choose chiropractic care to stay well, not just to get out of pain.
Does Chiropractic hurt?
Most people find chiropractic care comfortable and often relieving.
​
At The Body Clinic, care is always tailored to you. We use a range of approaches, including traditional diversified chiropractic techniques as well as gentle, low-force McTimoney-style techniques, depending on your body, preferences, and needs.
​
Everything is explained before we begin, and we adjust our approach at any time if something doesn’t feel right for you.
​
Your comfort, confidence, and trust are always our priority.
What happens at your first appointment?
Your first visit is about understanding you
​
We’ll begin with a conversation about:
​
-
Your health history
-
Any concerns you have
-
How you’d like to feel and function
This is followed by a physical assessment to look at posture, movement, and how your body is working as a whole.
You’ll always be told:
​
-
What we find
-
What it means for you
-
What your options are
Care is gentle, appropriate, and tailored to your needs.
How Many Appointments Will I Need?
This depends entirely on:
​
-
How your body is functioning
-
Your goals (relief vs long-term wellness)
-
How your body responds to care​
Some people come for short-term support, while others choose ongoing care to maintain movement and wellbeing. We’ll guide you, but the choice is always yours.
