First Visit
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. Please take a moment to fill out the forms below prior to your initial appointment. That allows for the majority of your appointment time to be spent one-on-one with the Doctor.
Consultation
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.
History and Examination
In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will perform Orthopedic, Postural, and Neurological Exam. We will also review your history. We want to look at you with a Holistic approach.
X-ray Studies
Your specific condition may require x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. It’s a road map to your structural health and can be very hopeful. If you have prior x-ray or MRI reports please bring them with you.
Same Day Treatment
Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, 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 are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
