Your First Visit
Mark O’Brien Chiropractic is based in Townsville. We also provide chiropractic treatments at our Hughenden clinic once a month. On your first visit to the chiropractor, you will be asked to fill in forms to provide essential information on your details and about your health background and history. In the initial consultation, you will:
Have a basic orientation to the situation & the possibilities of treatment
Be given a full examination
Be provided with an order for X-rays to be taken, if required (to be dropped into the practice by you before your second visit)
Be given an adjustment using a safe, gentle technique
To find out more or to book an appointment, contact our team today. Call on (07) 4721 1011.
Your Second Visit
Your second visit at Mark O’Brien Chiropractic will involve viewing an explanatory DVD on spinal function followed by an explanation of your examination as well as the X-rays and the findings from these.
A number of options of care designed to resolve your concern will be outlined to you. An explanation of the impact your problem may have on your present and future health will also be detailed. You will be adjusted again, using the technique the chiropractor, in consultation with you, feels will best address your specific situation. Probable and possible outcomes from your adjustment will be outlined, so that you are made aware of these, and any concerns you have will be addressed. To find out more, get in touch today.
Chiropractic treatment is based around specific adjustments of the spine. This may help with improving posture, assisting with pain management, providing stress relief and more.

The Two-Visit Approach
At Mark O’Brien Chiropractic, we schedule two visits because:
It reduces the length of the first visit
It allows for findings to be correlated
It reduces information overload for the patient
We always attempt to prepare your care plan to meet your particular circumstances, situations and needs, incorporating the chiropractor's professional judgement and your input.
Regular Chiropractic Visits
Regular chiropractic visits at Mark O’Brien Chiropractic may be characterised by the following:
They usually involve just an adjustment.
They are of 5-10 minutes duration, usually, based on the findings from the initial examination and present findings, neurological and physical.
They build on the appointment before. Missing a visit may result in a loss of momentum in making the needed changes to your spinal function.
Visits permit assessments to determine if progress is on, ahead or behind schedule, allowing your care plan to be adjusted accordingly
