WHAT TO EXPECT
first visit
Your first visit is designed for the doctors to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care meet your goals.
Patient Forms
Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family. We will request you to fill out our patient forms. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. If you have health insurance, do not forget to give the card to our receptionist!
Consult & Exam
Next you will have a consultation with one of the doctors to discuss your health-related problems, and concerns. A complete chiropractic examination will also be performed.
Digital X-Ray Studies
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation of a patient. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
second visit
Report Findings
Depending on your age and situation, your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, one of the doctors will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:
-
Can you help me?
-
What do you recommend that i do to get better?
-
How much is it going to cost?
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any
x-rays or tests, the doctor will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If the doctor believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.
Treatment
Treatment plans may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, soft tissue therapies, acupuncture, and spinal decompression, among others. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success. Everybody is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan. The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief.
