In pain
Whether it started this morning, has been there for months, or keeps flaring up, the first job is the same. Work out what's going on, settle it down, and agree a plan that makes sense to you.

Pain shows up in different ways. All of them deserve a proper look.
45 minutes, $140. Nothing happens without an explanation first.
How it started, what makes it better or worse, what you've tried and what your week involves.
An examination chosen to test the likely causes, and to screen for anything that needs a GP or imaging first.
What's likely going on, what we recommend, roughly how long it should take and what it will cost.
Treatment where it's appropriate, and what to do and avoid for the next few days.
Settling the pain is often the first goal. It's rarely the only one.
Now
Treatment and practical advice to calm things down, with a clear idea of what you can keep doing in the meantime.
Next
Strength, movement and tolerance for what your days ask of you, so you're not just waiting for the next one.
Over time
For some people, recurring pain is best managed with periodic reviews and treatment. For others, exercise and self-management are enough. We'll recommend what fits, explain why, and decide together.
Two common situations, and how a plan comes together.

Treatment is matched to how sore you are on the day. Adjustments are one option alongside soft tissue work, mobilisation and exercise. If you'd rather not be adjusted, say so and we'll work without it.
It depends on what's found and what you need to get back to. You get an estimate on day one with the reasoning behind it, it's reviewed as you go, and you decide how to proceed.
For some people with recurring pain, yes, and there is research supporting it in that group. For others, exercise and occasional reviews are enough. We'll explain the options and decide together.
Then you'll hear that on the day, along with who to see instead, whether that's a GP, imaging, a physio or a specialist.
Sudden numbness in the groin, loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe pain after an accident needs a GP or emergency department today, not an online booking.
First visits are 45 minutes. No referral needed.
