New Clients at Byron St Chiropractic
Preparing for Your First Appointment
When you book your first appointment with us, we’ll send you some initial paperwork to complete your health history. Please fill it out beforehand so we can review it in advance. You’ll also receive a text reminder with your appointment details, including location and parking information.
Your First Appointment
When you first step in, you will be greeted by name and be invited to sit in our beautiful atrium, where you can see the adjusting room through big glass windows. We keep our atmosphere relaxing and calm, with energetic music, lovely wood flooring, and calming decor.
Dr Kelly will sit down with you to go through your health history and current problem. We want to know your functional goals as well as your experience of pain. If you’ve been living with a chronic issue for years, there’s a reason you’re choosing to address it now. The better we understand your goals, the better we can tailor our care to meet your needs.
Depending on your case, we may also refer you out for X-rays. Our goal is to figure out what’s causing pain, whether we can help, and how long the process will take.
We generally do not provide adjustments during this appointment. It’s important to take our time to review your exam and any necessary imaging before starting care. This visit takes about 30 minutes.
Your Second Appointment
We’ll have you come back within the same week to go over our report of findings. Dr Kelly will carefully explain your condition, so you understand your health. After that, we’ll provide your first adjustment. This appointment takes half an hour.
Dr. Kelly Black
(Chiropractor)
Dr Kelly blends gentle chiropractic techniques with hands-on care to enhance spinal health, posture, and wellbeing, with a focus on women’s health and supporting movement enthusiasts in achieving balance and optimal performance.
Frequently Asked Questions at Byron St Chiropractic
-
Not at all. You are free to see a chiropractor on your own accord. However, if your GP decides that chiropractic care is the best option for you, your GP can provide you with up to 5 EPC (enhanced primary care) visits which are covered by Medicare.
-
It completely depends on you, your goals, and your problem. How long has the pain or concern been around for? How severe is it? How healthy do you want to become? No two people are the same, therefore, no two treatment plans are the same. Based on our chiropractors findings from your history and the examination process, we will cater a treatment plan specifically tailored to you.

‘Remarkably’ according to a New Zealand study.
The New Zealand Government published an objective study of chiropractic. Many issues were studied, including cost effectiveness, chiropractic education and training, safety issues, and patient satisfaction.
Among other things, the resulting 377 page document concluded that chiropractic would have a positive influence on the health of a country.
The commission investigated two safety issues that had been commonly raised by chiropractic critics. The first being the safety of chiropractic spinal adjustments, and the second, the notion that seeking chiropractic care delays medical treatment. After extensive inquiry, the researchers found both safety concerns to be unfounded. Because of the lack of evidence to the contrary, the commissioners determined chiropractic care to be remarkably safe.
