New Patients
Take the first step toward better health! We're committed to making your first visit a positive one.
What to Expect: Your First Visits
Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment. Call our office or book online to schedule your first visit. Our team will help you find a convenient appointment time and answer any questions you may have before you arrive.
Step 2: Complete Your Health History. Before your appointment, you'll complete a health history form so Dr. Sheldon can better understand your health concerns, symptoms, and goals for care.
Step 3: Consultation & Comprehensive Examination. Your first visit is focused on understanding your health and identifying the underlying factors contributing to your concerns. Your first visit includes:
- Discussion of your health history and current concerns
- A comprehensive examination of your spine
- If necessary, X-rays may be recommended to provide additional information about your spinal health.
Step 4: Review & Analysis. Following your examination, Dr. Sheldon carefully reviews all findings, test results, and any imaging that may have been taken. This allows him to develop recommendations that are specific to your unique situation and health goals.
Step 5: Doctor's Report & Care Plan. Your second visit is one of the most important steps in the process. During this appointment, Dr. Sheldon will:
- Review your examination findings
- Explain your spinal health results
- Answer your questions
- Present personalized care recommendations
Once you've reviewed your findings and recommendations, you'll be able to begin care with a treatment plan designed around your needs, goals, and comfort level.
No surprises. No pressure. Just honest, personalized care focused on helping you move and feel your best.

Many patients visit us for back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint discomfort, posture concerns, and sports-related injuries. Chiropractic care may also help improve mobility, flexibility, and overall function. During your assessment, we'll discuss your concerns and determine whether chiropractic care is the right fit for you.
What should I expect during my first chiropractic visit?
Your first appointment begins with a thorough health history and assessment. We'll take the time to understand your symptoms, health goals, and movement patterns before discussing our findings and recommendations. If appropriate, treatment may begin during your first visit, and you'll leave with a clear understanding of your care plan.
Does chiropractic care hurt?
Most patients find chiropractic adjustments comfortable and relieving. Some people may experience mild soreness afterward, similar to what you might feel after exercise, but this typically resolves quickly. We always tailor our approach to your comfort level and individual needs.

Our Patient Testimonials
I continue to have a fantastic experience with Sheldon Cook & Team. He is a fantastic person and is great at what he does- he is gentle and genuinely cares about his clients.
I always feel better after my chiro adjustments.
Reception Wendy & Pam are also so sweet & so welcoming.
Dr Sheldon Cook has been my Chiropractor since 2007. It all started with a lower back injury that made me completely immobile with a trip to Hawaii looming 2 weeks later. Within 10 days of his treatment/adjustments, my back was fully operational and I joyfully went on holiday. I’ve had other back issues over the years due to sport activities, and every time I am 100% completely happy with Dr Cooks treatments. He has a very happy and positive demeanour and whenever asked, I always refer people to him.
Dr. Sheldon Cook is a brilliant chiropractor with a 'f-ANNE-tastic' receptionist :). His ingenious treatment to rectifying the results of a unforgiving motorcycle accident has significantly improved my pain & posture in a short period of time. The relief of constant pain from numerous broken bones, neck strain, and nerve damage has left me appreciative of this insightful & generous doctor. The noticeable difference was recognized by my better-half as she used to be a smidge taller but now I am. Dr. Cook truly is the best at what he does..."
Staff are kind, caring, compassionate, professional and very knowledgeable. They gave me hope and healing with cronic back pain issues i have been dealing with for 23 years. I highly recommend Doctor Cook.
Dr Sheldon Cook is fantastic, as well as all of his staff! I was living in quite a bit of pain before being referred to Dr. Cook. I’ve only been going for 5 weeks, but it has made my quality of life so much better already! Everyone is super friendly, and they’ve been very accommodating when I’ve had to make changes to bookings. 5 stars for patient care, clean, friendly staff, his kind demeanour, and central location.
