Your First Chiropractic Visit

Your First Chiropractic Visit


Your first visit at Family First can last between 30-45 minutes. Please bring your Manitoba Health Card with you.

Step One (Forms):

Download, print and fill out our intake form to bring with you.

Step Two (Consultation):

Our Doctors and staff will review your health history and concerns.

Step Three (Physical Examination):

The doctor will perform a hands-on exam of your spine and/or any area of complaint.

Step Four (Additional Testing):

An sEMG (to measure muscle tension and balance) and Spinal Thermography (to measure temperature around the spine) will be performed. If our doctors feel that an x-ray is required to further assess the spine of your health a referral will be made to Legacy X-ray for further imaging.

Review your findings:

After all appropriate examination procedures are completed, the doctors will review all the findings with you and make recommendations which are appropriate for your particular case.

Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
We accept cases for AUTOPAC injury claims. There are a few “rules”
regarding claiming injury benefits:

The accident must be reported to AUTOPAC.
  • In order to qualify for chiropractic care for your injuries you must receive an injury claim number (this is separate from a vehicle claim number) from AUTOPAC.
  • Once you receive your injury claim number you may come in and be examined by one of the doctors.
  • We will then prepare all the necessary paperwork for your claim and then upon approval, chiropractic care can begin for your injuries.
  • All services are billed directly to AUTOPAC.
Work Related Injuries
We accept cases due to a work injury. There are also a few “rules”
when a person has been injured on the job.

  • The injury must be reported to the employer.
  • The employer must complete an Employee Accident Report and submit this form to WCB.
  • Our doctors must complete and submit a Chiropractor’s First Report to WCB outlining the workers injuries.
  • Upon approval of the First Report, chiropractic care can begin and it will last for the timeframe approved by WCB.
