First Visit to Chiropractic Office

Brief Paperwork

Upon entering the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

Chiropractic Consultation

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

History and Examination

In order to determine what your actual problem is, the chiropractor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized chiropractic tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.

X-ray Studies

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective chiropractic treatment plan for you.

Same Day Treatment

Once finished with the chiropractic examination and all appropriate studies, patients will generally be provided with their first chiropractic 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 Chiropractic Appointment

You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, chiropractic patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Chiropractic treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
