Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with specific information about you and your health history.  

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with the Doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for the Doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, the Doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination.  This may include a postural evaluation, range of motion, orthopedic, and neurological testing, as well as a orthotic screening.  

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of  any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

After the information is collected and examination has been performed, the Doctor will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What will my treatment cost?

After reviewing your health history, examination, and X-rays, the Doctor will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers.  The Doctor will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

On your second appointment, you will experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustment, physiotherapy, and/or massage/manual therapy.  Treatment is interactive, so you can express options about the different styles of treatment anytime.

Wellness Program

During your care plan doctor may suggest a wellness program to incorporate at home.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
