Your First Visit

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 your health history and information on your condition.

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

After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

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.

Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, we will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, we will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. This is typically done as a second visit. We will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.

At the conclusion, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, exercise and/or soft tissue massage. Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a home care program to incorporate outside of treatment. 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.

 If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. 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.
