No referral needed. No surprises. Here is everything you need to know before your first visit with Dr Tia, and how to make a booking.
What care looks like,
step by step
Book and complete your health history
Once you book online, you will receive a link to complete your new patient health history before you arrive. If you prefer, we can provide a paper copy for you to complete in the studio before your appointment. This gives Dr Tia the information she needs to make the most of your time together from the moment you walk in.

A thorough consultation
Dr Tia takes your full case history, not just where it hurts, but how you move, sleep, work, and live. This is an unhurried conversation. You will not feel like you are being processed through a system.
Physical examination
A detailed examination including orthopaedic, neurological and musculoskeletal testing, and posture photos to understand what is actually happening in your spine and nervous system. Where clinically appropriate, on-site digital X-ray is available at the studio. X-rays are bulk billed.

A clear report of findings
Dr Tia explains exactly what she found through her assessments in an easy-to-understand way. You will know what is going on in your body and what the care plan looks like before anything begins. No guesswork, no jargon, no pressure.
Care begins, if appropriate
If Dr Tia determines that chiropractic care is right for you, your first adjustment may happen during your second visit. If further information is needed, or if referral to another provider is more appropriate, she will tell you clearly and help coordinate it.
What to bring
and wear
We are located at 22 Hare St, Echuca with easy access and on street parking directly in front of the studio.
