Expect your first visit to be approximately 60 minutes in length with Dr. Jennifer Murray and include a complete history, examination, report and treatment. When you book your initial assessment, an online, fillable link will be emailed to you to complete your Initial Assessment Form. Please note, these forms MUST BE COMPLETED ONLINE prior to coming for your first appointment.
Patient History: Dr. Jennifer will discuss the nature and extent of your condition with you to determine if chiropractic care is appropriate treatment for the condition. She will ask about your entire health history, not just about recent events. As a primary care provider, Dr. Jennifer needs to know of any serious conditions, previous injuries or surgeries or medication that may be affecting your health.
Physical Exam: Orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic spinal testing will be performed to determine the general health status and the origin of specific problems. Dr. Jennifer will look at you walk (your gait cycle), how you stand, how you bend and twist and look for any tender areas w
ith physical palpation. *If you are a runner and seeing Dr. Jen for the first time, please bring shorts and your current running shoes.*
Posture Pro Analysis: Dr. Jen will also take photos of you from the front and side in a posture assessment. These photos will be imputed to our computerized posture assessment program to determine any biomechanical deficiencies and provide a postural benchmark.
X-Rays: Based on history and examinations findings, Dr. Jen may order x-rays to assess the structure and alignment of the spine. OHIP covers x-rays ordered by Chiropractor’s in Ontario and we refer to a local x-ray lab.
Please note, many health benefit plans cover chiropractic. Due to their individuality, we do not directly bill to your health insurance carriers. We will be very happy to give you a receipt for any services rendered to submit for reimbursement.
