What to Expect On Your First Visit
- PAPERWORK
At your first appointment we will have some paperwork for you to fill out. This paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. You can also download the
New Patient Forms., fill them out and bring them with you to your first appointment. (There may also be additional paperwork, courtesy of your insurance company.)
- CONSULTATION
Once the forms have been completed, you will be ready to see your doctor. Together with your doctor you will consult to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.
- HISTORY & EXAMINATION
In order to determine a working diagnosis, your doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, your doctor will perform a focused physical examination to determine the cause of discomfort, and the extent of injury.
- X-RAY STUDIES
We rarely have to do X-rays on patients. When we do, they are done so to rule out serious problems such as fracture, trauma, infection, or tumors.
- SAME DAY TREATMENT
Once finished with the consultation, history and examination, patients are typically provided with their first treatment during this same visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physio- therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.
- HOME INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to leaving, patients typically 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
Our office manager will assist you with finding the most convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit.
Treatment Frequency and Duration
Patients often report significant relief after the first few visits, but treatment plans vary depending on the severity and complexity of the complaint(s). Generally, patients are treated 1-3 times a week (depending on severity) for 2-4 weeks and then re-evaluated.
After the main complaint is resolved patients are released from care. However, a growing number of patients are requesting regular chiropractic care to help maintain their improved health status. Regular chiropractic care is a lifestyle choice, much like healthy eating, regular exercise, and regular dental care.
