First Chiropractic Visit in Camrose | What to Expect in Camrose

First Chiropractic Visit – What happens, how long it takes, what to wear, and what you will leave with.

Why Your First Chiropractic Visit Starts With an Assessment

The most common worry about a First Chiropractic Visit in Camrose is being adjusted before anyone has worked out what is wrong. That is not how it goes here. Your first Chiropractic visit is mostly assessment and conversation, and treatment only happens once there is a reason for it and you have agreed to it.

Chiropractic care at our Camrose clinic is provided by Dr. Robert Weeks, working alongside our physiotherapy, massage and rehabilitation team.

What the First Chiropractic Appointment Involves

Practical Details

How long is the first appointment?

Longer than a follow-up, because most of it is assessment. Follow-ups are shorter and more focused.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothing you can move in. Nothing restrictive. You will not be asked to change into a gown.

Do I need a referral?

No. Chiropractic is direct-access in Alberta. Some insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement — that is a plan rule, worth checking with your insurer.

What should I bring?

Your insurance details (policy and group number), a list of any medications, and any relevant imaging or reports you already have. If it is a WCB claim or motor vehicle claim, bring the claim number.

Will I be adjusted on the first visit?

Often, if the assessment supports it and you are comfortable with it. Not always — sometimes the right first step is something else, or a referral.

Will I be sore afterwards?

Some tenderness for a day is common after a first treatment. It settles. Tell us if it does not.

Do I need X-rays?

Not routinely. Imaging is requested when the history or examination indicates it, not as standard practice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Hiya for my physio since a fall and a car accident. She is lovely and goes above and beyond for her clients, you can truly see she is passionate about her work. The front desk girls are all wonderful too! Always so nice, and remember you by name, greetings everyone as they come in the door. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience.

Zoey was incredibly thorough—she listened carefully, explained the underlying causes of my persistent neck and shoulder problem, and provided treatment that delivered fast, noticeable results. The front office staff are exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. It’s genuinely a pleasure to visit this clinic.
