Your First Visit
-
1. Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, one of our staff members will welcome you to our office. We will request that you complete some paperwork. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
-
2. Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with one of the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial consultation is designed to learn more about you, your condition, and your expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
-
3. Examination
After your consultation, one of the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your range of motion and flexibility. Standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
-
4. X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, X-rays may be indicated. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us to any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. Imaging (including X-rays and MRI’s) are not done on site, but patients will be referred to an imaging center when necessary.
-
5. Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, we will go over our findings. You will be given a detailed report of all findings and we will answer any questions including: How can you help me? How often do I need to come in? What will my treatment cost? After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine, we will discuss recommendations. We will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
-
6. Treatment
At the conclusion of your report of findings on your first visit, if treatment is indicated, you may choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, stretches, and/or soft tissue treatments. Treatment is interactive, and at any time you can discuss with our doctor your choice of different styles of treatment.
-
7. Home Care
Prior to leaving the office after your first treatment, one of the doctor will give you instructions regarding home care and lifestyle changes. This may include specific instructions on using ice and heat, activities to avoid, and what you can do outside of the office to be proactive in speeding up your response to treatment. Every person is unique, and therefore everyone requires a customized treatment plan.
