What to expect
Your First Appointment with Our Heidelberg Chiropractor
Booking your first chiropractic appointment can feel like a big step, especially if you have never seen a chiropractor before. Here is exactly what happens when you arrive at our Heidelberg clinic, so there are no surprises.
01
Health History
We begin by discussing your symptoms, health history and goals to understand what may be contributing to your concerns. This helps us determine how your issues are affecting your day-to-day life.
02
Physical Assessment
A thorough assessment of your posture, movement and spinal function identifies areas that may be contributing to your pain or stiffness. In turn, this guides the most appropriate approach to your care.
03
Understanding & Care
We explain our findings clearly before any care is provided, so you understand what is happening and what the proposed approach involves. Moreover, treatment can begin on the first appointment if clinically indicated.
04
Clear Next Steps
You leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a structured treatment strategy. This includes recommended follow-ups, exercises, lifestyle advice, or imaging referral if clinically appropriate.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Heidelberg?
No referral is needed. You can book directly without a GP referral — simply book online or call the clinic. Appointments are often available within the same week.
Does chiropractic treatment hurt?
Most people find treatment comfortable, and many feel relief after their first session. Some experience mild tenderness in the treated area for 24–48 hours, similar to how muscles feel after exercise. Dr Lee always explains what he is doing and adjusts his approach based on your comfort level.
How many appointments will I need?
This depends on your condition, how long you have had it, and your goals. After your first appointment, Dr Lee will provide a clear recommendation and explain what to expect. Many patients see significant improvement within four to six sessions. You will never be kept on a plan longer than necessary.
Can I use my private health insurance?
Yes. We have HICAPS on-site, meaning you can claim your private health rebate instantly at the time of your appointment. Most extras policies include chiropractic cover. Simply bring your health fund card and we will process the claim for you on the day.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is ideal. You do not need to bring anything special. If your concern involves the lower back or hips, shorts or loose pants make the assessment easier. Dr Lee will explain everything before the examination begins.
