First Visit

Brief Paperwork

Upon entering the office we will have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition as well as our office and privacy policy.

Consultation and History

Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.

Examination

In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will perform a thorough chiropractic examination to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.

X-ray/Imaging Studies

On occasion, your specific condition may require us to send you for x-rays or MRI exam to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.

Same Day Treatment

Once finished with the examination, patients will generally be provided with their first treatment during this same visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.

Home Instructions

Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.

Schedule Your Next Appointment

You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients often require follow up visits more frequently within the first two weeks of care.
