A clear, considered process — every visit
Good care isn't guesswork. Every new patient at Reconnect moves through the same five-step process, so you always know what's happening, why, and what comes next.
Initial Consultation
Your first visit starts with a conversation, not an adjustment. Dr Michael listens to what's brought you in — pain, dysfunction, or something that's simply not felt right for a while — along with your broader health history, lifestyle and daily habits.
This is where your goals take the lead. Whether that's getting back to sport, supporting your child's development, or simply feeling well again, understanding what matters to you shapes everything that follows.
Assessment
A thorough physical, orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic specific examination follows — along with looking at movement, posture and areas of spinal restriction which may be contributing to altered neurological function.
Where clinically indicated, we take digital X-rays on site, so imaging happens in the same visit rather than sending you elsewhere. Every finding is objective, not assumed.
Analysis
Behind the scenes, Dr Michael brings your history and assessment findings together to identify what's actually contributing to your presentation — reasoning grounded in evidence, not routine.
From there, he determines the most conservative, appropriate path forward: how to most appropriately adjust and work with your spine and nervous system, how often and for how long care is likely to be needed, and the most efficient and effective home-based rehabilitation exercises to support your care — along with possible referral to other providers, to help you best achieve your health goals.
Report of Findings
Your results are explained in plain language — what we found, what it means, and why. You'll leave with a clear, personalised plan: how often care is recommended, for how long, how we'll track your progress along the way, and what your care will cost.
If chiropractic care isn't the right fit, or another provider is better placed to help, we'll say so directly. Every question is welcome before care begins.
Care & Adjustments
This is the heart of it. Using the most appropriate approach for your spine and nervous system, Dr Michael delivers precise, hands-on care aimed at restoring normal movement and function — supporting your body's innate capacity to reconnect, heal and thrive.
Care is reviewed as you progress, so your plan keeps adapting to what your body actually needs, visit to visit.
Five steps. One philosophy: reconnect, heal, thrive.
Every part of this process exists to support what your body is already capable of — reconnecting, healing and thriving. Here's the thinking behind it.
