What to Expect on Your First Visit
At Life Balance Health Centre, we’re committed to providing a warm, welcoming, and family-friendly environment where you feel comfortable and supported. Your first chiropractic visit is an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand your health goals, and assess whether chiropractic care is the right fit for your needs.
What Happens During Your Initial Appointment
Your first visit is all about listening, learning, and assessing. We’ll take time to discuss your current health concerns, lifestyle, and medical history. Our chiropractors are trained to identify underlying issues that may be affecting your nervous system and overall function.
If we believe we can help, a comprehensive examination will follow. This may include:
-
Postural assessments
-
Neurological and orthopaedic testing
-
Range of motion checks
-
Imaging such as X-rays, CT, or MRI (for adults only if required)
We encourage you to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement and assessment.
Depending on your case, we may start gentle chiropractic care on your first visit, although sometimes we wait until imaging results are available. Please allow up to 40 minutes for your first appointment.
Your Second & Ongoing Chiropractic Visits
By your second visit, we will have gathered any required test or imaging results. Our chiropractors will take the time to clearly explain what we found, what it means for you, and how chiropractic care can help.
What to Expect on Your Second Visit
We’ll provide:
-
A clear explanation of your test results
-
A customised care plan tailored to your condition
-
An outline of expected treatment timeframes and cost
-
Answers to any questions you have
This visit typically marks the beginning of your care journey, and you should allow around 30 minutes.
Regular Chiropractic Appointments
Your follow-up visits will be shorter but are essential to your progress. These appointments include:
-
A brief check-in and discussion of any changes
-
Reassessment of key tests to track your improvement
-
Gentle and specific spinal adjustments tailored to your age and spinal condition
Most regular visits take around 10 minutes, and we make every effort to run on time so you can get back to your day quickly.

At Life Balance Health Centre in Padbury, our chiropractors use gentle, low-force techniques to help realign the spine, improve mobility, relieve pain, and support your body’s natural healing ability.
We focus on restoring brain-body communication through neurological and chiropractic care, treating the whole person — not just the symptoms.

Chiropractic care at LBHC is designed to support your entire well-being.
Our clients often experience relief from back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and postural issues.
But the benefits go beyond pain relief — improved spinal alignment enhances neurological communication, boosts energy levels, supports better sleep, and promotes overall health.
Because we use gentle, neurological, orthopaedic, and chiropractic techniques, care is suitable for everyone — from babies to grandparents, tradies, professionals, business owners, families, weekend warriors, and professional sportsmen.
We may refer you for X-rays or other imaging (like CT or MRI scans) when clinically necessary to get a full picture of your spinal and neurological health.
At LBHC, we use imaging responsibly — typically for adults with a history of trauma, chronic issues, or structural concerns.
Children rarely need imaging, thanks to our gentle, paediatric-based approach.
Safety, precision, and personalised care are always our priorities.
Poor posture is commonly linked to spinal imbalances and modern habits like extended sitting or screen use.
At LBHC, we use specific, neurological and orthopaedic assessments combined with gentle chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine and retrain postural patterns.
We also provide simple home exercises to help you maintain upright, healthy posture long-term.
With consistent care, clients often notice less tension, improved appearance, and greater ease in daily movement.
Yes — we accept most major private health funds and offer on-the-spot claims through HICAPS for your convenience.
Chiropractic care is usually included under extras cover, but rebates vary depending on your provider and level of cover.
Your first visit to LBHC is all about understanding your health holistically.
We’ll begin with a thorough neurological, orthopaedic, and chiropractic assessment to determine how best to support you.
For adults, this may include referrals for X-rays or imaging if needed.
We aim to create a calm, informative experience — and depending on your case, care may begin on the first or second visit.
You should allow about 40 minutes for this appointment.
The CKP™ Method — combining Chiropractic, Kinesiology, and Pilates — addresses the whole body, not just the symptoms.
It’s particularly effective for complex or chronic conditions where multiple systems are involved, including:
- TMJ (Jaw Dysfunction) – balancing the jaw, neck, and cranial system to relieve pressure, tension, and bite misalignment.
- Scoliosis – improving posture, symmetry, and muscle tone while reducing spinal tension and discomfort.
- Orthotics and Foot Alignment – assessing how foot structure affects balance, knees, hips, and spinal posture.
- Headaches and Migraines – reducing nerve irritation and restoring neurological balance.
- Pelvic or Core Weakness – restoring strength and function through targeted Pilates rehabilitation.
Every CKP™ program is tailored to your body’s structure and function.
We Align your body, Activate your muscles, and help you Adapt with stability and strength work inspired by Clinical Pilates.
