New Chiropractic Patients in Edmonton

Radix Pain & Rehabilitation Centre is accepting new chiropractic patients at our South Edmonton clinic.

 

Dr. William Farrell and Dr. Carter Campbell provide comprehensive chiropractic assessments and individualized treatment for patients with musculoskeletal, neurological and orthopedic concerns.

 

Your first appointment is designed to give your chiropractor sufficient time to understand your concerns, review your health history, complete an appropriate examination and discuss a recommended plan of care.

​

Before Your First Chiropractic Appointment

 

Book Your Appointment Online

 

All new-patient appointments must be booked through our secure Jane App online booking system.

 

Appointments, cancellations and rescheduling are completed online. Our clinic does not book or change appointments by telephone or email.

 

To create your patient profile and reserve an appointment, you will need:

​

• A valid email address

• A valid credit card

• Your completed online intake forms

 

Your credit card information is securely processed through Jane App and is not visible to clinic staff.

 

​

Complete Your Intake Forms Before You Arrive

 

After booking, your intake forms will be sent to the email address entered in your Jane App profile.

 

Please complete the forms before your appointment. Once submitted, they are securely added to your patient chart for your chiropractor to review.

 

Complete and accurate paperwork helps us use your appointment time effectively. If your forms are incomplete or you arrive late, your assessment may need to be completed over two separately billed appointments.

 

Arrive 10 Minutes Early

​

Please arrive approximately 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment. This gives you time to locate the clinic, settle in and use the washroom before your consultation begins.

 

Our clinic is located at:

Radix Pain & Rehabilitation Centre
4825 89 Street NW
Edmonton, Alberta T6E 5K1

​

 

What Happens During Your Initial Consultation?

 

Your initial chiropractic consultation is approximately 60 minutes.

 

1. Discussion of Your Concerns

 

Your chiropractor will begin by listening to your concerns and reviewing:

​

• Your current symptoms

• How and when the problem began

• Previous injuries or health conditions

• Relevant treatment and diagnostic history

• Your functional, work, recreational and recovery goals

 

2. Health History and Physical Examination

 

Your chiropractor will complete an examination appropriate to your symptoms and health history.

 

Depending on your concern, this may include:

​

• Movement and functional assessment

• Orthopaedic testing

• Neurological testing

• Joint and soft-tissue assessment

• Balance, coordination or vestibular testing when clinically appropriate

• General health screening

 

Not every patient requires the same tests. Your examination will be tailored to your individual presentation.

 

3. Review of Findings

​

Following the examination, your chiropractor will explain the relevant findings and discuss the likely cause or contributing factors associated with your symptoms.

 

You will have an opportunity to ask questions before treatment begins.

 

4. Personalized Treatment Plan

​

When chiropractic care is appropriate, your chiropractor will recommend an individualized treatment plan. This may include:

​

• The type of treatment recommended

• The expected frequency and duration of appointments

• Home exercises or self-management strategies

• Recommended follow-up assessments

• Referral or additional testing when appropriate

 

Treatment can often begin during the initial consultation. In more complex cases, additional assessment may be required before treatment begins.

​

​

Will I Need Diagnostic Imaging or Additional Testing?

 

Imaging is not automatically required before chiropractic treatment.

 

Your health history and examination findings will help your chiropractor determine whether an X-ray, ultrasound, MRI or another investigation may be appropriate. When additional testing or medical assessment is required, your chiropractor will discuss the recommendation with you.

 

Our chiropractors have authorized access to Alberta Netcare and may be able to review relevant imaging reports and test results completed within Alberta.

 

Please bring copies of relevant reports or images when:

​

• Testing was completed outside Alberta

• Testing was completed outside Canada

• The records may not be available through Alberta Netcare

• You have been specifically asked to bring them

​

What Should I Wear?

 

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and permits the area being assessed to be accessed when necessary.

 

Athletic or gym-style clothing generally works well. Depending on the area being examined, you may also be asked to remove jewelry or other accessories that restrict movement.

 

Your comfort and privacy will be respected throughout the assessment and treatment process.

​

How Long Is the First Appointment?

 

New-patient chiropractic consultations are booked for approximately 60 minutes.

 

Complex conditions sometimes require additional examination or testing. When this occurs, the assessment may need to be completed over two visits, with each appointment billed accordingly.

 

Follow-up appointments are generally shorter and are commonly booked for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment required.

​

Can I Bring Children to My Appointment?

 

The clinic does not provide childcare.

 

Because the initial consultation requires an uninterrupted discussion and detailed examination, we strongly recommend arranging childcare for young children whenever possible.

 

Dependants may be easier to accommodate during shorter follow-up appointments.

​

How Often Will I Need Chiropractic Treatment?

 

The number and frequency of appointments will depend on factors such as:'

​

• Your diagnosis

• The severity and duration of your symptoms

• Your examination findings

• Your response to treatment

• Your functional and recovery goals

• Other health conditions or injuries

 

Your chiropractor will explain the recommended schedule after completing your assessment. Your progress will be reassessed, and the treatment plan may be modified as your condition improves.

 

Our goal is to help you recover, improve function and develop strategies for managing your health outside the clinic.

 

Ongoing or periodic supportive care is always optional. You will not be pressured to continue treatment when you no longer feel that it is beneficial.

​

Does the Clinic Run on Time?

 

We recognize that your time is valuable and make every reasonable effort to remain on schedule.

 

Occasionally, an unexpected clinical situation may require additional attention. We appreciate your understanding if a short delay occurs.
