What to expect 

What to expect 

"while other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment"

At Native Chiropractic, we provide gentle, effective, and tailored care for the whole family—from mums-to-be, to newborns, children, and adults. Every visit is centred around supporting your nervous system, improving function, and helping your family thrive in everyday life.

Initial Consultation

Your first visit is all about connection and understanding. We take the time to listen to your health goals, concerns, and unique circumstances. This is your opportunity to share your story so we can provide care that’s personalised to you and your family.

​

During this visit, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your spine and nervous system, including:

​

  • Chiropractic assessment – examining alignment and movement

  • Neuro-spinal examination – evaluating nerve function

  • INSIGHT nervous system scans – non-invasive technology to measure nervous system adaptability, tension patterns, and overall function

  • Functional neurological testing – assessing how your nervous system communicates with your body

  • Digital posture assessment – identifying areas of imbalance

  • Spinal range of motion – measuring flexibility and movement limitations

  • Neurodevelopment & primitive reflexes – particularly for children, to support optimal development

  • X-ray referral (if required)​

 

We also understand that children, especially those with neurodevelopmental or sensory processing challenges, may require a more sensory-based approach. We can adapt your child’s assessment and care to meet their unique needs, including flexible appointment times, phone consultations, or split sessions.

Report of Findings 

Your second appointment, the Report of Findings, is where we bring clarity to your assessment. We’ll sit down together to explain:

​

​

  • What we found during your initial consultation

  • Why these issues may have developed

  • Your personalised care plan and recommendations

  • Your first adjustment, if you’re ready to begin​

 

This session ensures you have a clear understanding of your body’s needs and a roadmap for achieving your health and wellness goals.

Adjustments 

During regular visits, your chiropractor uses a variety of gentle, neurologically-informed

techniques tailored to your family’s needs. Care is designed to support:

​

  • Prenatal comfort for mums-to-be

  • Healthy development for infants and children

  • Nervous system function and overall wellness for adults

 

We are a family-friendly practice, welcoming little ones, and we offer:

​

  • Flexible appointment times from 7:30am – 6:30pm

  • A warm, welcoming space where your family + pets are welcome. Free range kids are welcome. 

  • Time to relax in our waiting area if you arrive early with refreshments 

Tracking Progress

We believe in measurable outcomes. After a determined number of visits, we reassess your nervous system and spine using the same functional tests and INSIGHT scanning technology from your first visit. This allows us to:

​

  • Track measurable improvements over time

  • See how your nervous system is adapting and responding to care

  • Refine and optimise your care plan for continued growth and wellbeing
