NEW TO CHIROPRACTIC?
Let’s make the next step easier to understand.
Chiropractors assess problems involving your muscles, joints and movement, including back and neck pain.
We start by understanding your symptoms and examining the relevant areas. Your findings, preferences and goals guide what happens next.
Hands-on care
Where appropriate, treatment may include joint mobilisation, chiropractic adjustments or work on tight and tender muscles.
Exercises and practical advice
Advice and exercises tailored to your situation, with your everyday activities and goals in mind.
A plan you can discuss
We explain the options and review your response to care. Further investigation or referral may be recommended when appropriate.
Nervous about treatment? Tell us. We’ll discuss what is proposed, the benefits and risks, and your preferences before you decide.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
Start by having the problem assessed.
You don’t have to decide on a course of treatment before you’ve had a conversation about what’s happening.
01 · Tell us your story
What hurts, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and how it’s affecting your day.
02 · Have the problem examined
An assessment of the relevant movements, joints and muscles, with further tests where needed.
03 · Discuss your options
We explain the findings and recommended next steps. Treatment may begin that day if appropriate and you choose to proceed.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Time to discuss what’s happening.
Allow around 30 minutes for your initial consultation, examination and discussion of your options. Treatment may begin if appropriate and agreed.

MEET YOUR CHIROPRACTOR
Hi, I’m Nick. You’ll see me each visit.
I’m Dr Nicholas Lee, chiropractor and founder of True Chiropractic. I take the time to hear what’s been happening and understand what matters to you, whether that’s getting through work, returning to exercise or feeling more comfortable day to day.
We’ll talk through the findings and your options together. When you return, you’ll see the same person who assessed you, with your history and progress already understood.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
It’s okay to have questions.
Especially if you’ve never seen a chiropractor. Here are a few things you might be wondering.
Do I need a referral or a diagnosis?
No referral is needed. You can book to have your symptoms assessed even if you don’t know what is causing them. Bring any relevant reports or imaging you already have.
Do I have to have my neck or back “cracked”?
No. Let Nick know your preferences or concerns. Treatment options depend on your assessment and may include mobilisation, muscle techniques, exercises or adjustments. He also uses activator, blocks and drop piece techniques if traditional chiropractic techniques aren’t received well in your situation. Any proposed treatment and relevant risks are discussed before you decide.
Will I receive treatment at the first visit?
Treatment may begin at the first visit if the assessment indicates it is appropriate and you agree. Sometimes further investigation or referral is the next step. You can also take time to consider the options.
Will I need X-rays?
X-rays are not a routine requirement. Imaging is recommended only when clinically indicated by your history or examination.
How many appointments will I need?
This depends on the problem, your goals and your response to care. Nick will discuss recommendations after assessing you, and review them as you progress. You can ask questions before deciding on follow-up care.
What does it cost? Can I use my health fund?
See current appointment fees in Cliniko when booking online. Our current online booking offer is $69 for a new patient initial appointment. HICAPS is available if your extras cover includes chiropractic. Check with your fund for your rebate and remaining limits.
