What to Expect on Your First Visit:

Upon entering our office you will receive a warm welcome from our staff. Our office is professional, yet we try to maintain a relaxed atmosphere.

New Patient Paperwork:

It's very important that the doctor find out as much information about your current and previous health conditions so that he can make an accurate diagnosis. .

Consultation:

Once your paperwork has been completed you will meet with the doctor to discuss your health concerns. Areas of focus include current health history/what's bringing you into the office, past health history, and so forth. Based upon these findings, the doctor will perform the appropriate orthopedic, neurologic, and ancillary tests to aid in discover the cause of your concerns.

Spinal Analysis:

We dedicate a portion of your examination to see how healthy your spine is. During your spinal analysis we'll see if one shoulder is higher than the other, if one hip is rotated forward or back, and so on. We'll also measure your range of motion in your neck, mid back, low back, along with any other body part or joint structure that you may have a question or concern about.

Physical Examination:

To get a baseline as to where your health is, we perform a thorough physical examination consisting of basic vital signs, orthopedic tests, and specific tests for your condition. We will also be gathering information to see if you have any joint dysfunctions (subluxations). This crucial step will allow us to know if the condition you have is something that chiropractic can help with.

X-Ray Studies / Advanced Imaging:

The purpose of having X-rays/Advanced Imaging is to help us determine the cause of your condition. Just as a dentist wants to see what's going on with your teeth, the same holds true for your spine. If X-rays or Advanced Imaging are recommended then at the end of your first visit you will be referred to a nearby facility that we work with.

Home Care:

Prior to leaving the office you may be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This home care may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, and/or home exercises/stretches.

Schedule Your Next Appointment:

After your first visit we will schedule you for your next appointment. This visit will include any follow-up medical orthopeadic and neurological examinations necessary for the type of care that you may require. Following all examinations, a test adjustment will be performed to see if you are a good candidate for chiropractic care.
