What most of us really want to know when we visit a healthcare practitioner is what exactly is going on with us and how do we get out of pain.

In a 1 hour consultation appointment, your chiropractor will spend plenty of time explaining what they’ve found during your examination and answering all the questions you have, and you'll get treatment in that appointment too.
