First Visit
Your First Visit
You are joining many of your neighbors and friends who have chosen
the natural, drugless, chiropractic approach to good health. Whether
you have been referred by a family member or friend or have been to
medical doctors and did not obtain the results you wanted,
congratulations on discovering chiropractic! After setting up an
appointment and arriving for your first visit, you’ll enjoy the
friendly staff and vibrant atmosphere. After completing some simple
forms to help the doctor understand your health history, you’ll meet
one of our Chiropractic Technicians. Our technician will review your
health history, check the motion of your spine, check your blood
pressure and perform some other basic tests. One of our doctors will
then meet with you to determine if your condition is one that will
typically respond from chiropractic care or requires a medical
referral. Your reflexes will be checked, and other orthopedic,
neurological, physical and chiropractic tests will be performed. X-rays
of your spine may be taken to determine the extent of your condition
and if arthritic or degenerative changes may be present. You may also
be given self-help home instructions to offer you some relief.
Your Second Visit
One of the doctors will study the results of your tests, analyze your
x-rays and compare that to your health history. On your second visit,
all your questions will be answered including what is wrong, if
chiropractic care will help, how long will it take, and how much will
it cost. With a complete understanding of your condition, you are ready
for your first chiropractic spinal adjustment. Adjustments help restore
proper spinal function relieving nerve interference and allow the
healing process to begin. Continued visits help retrain the soft
tissues which surround and support the spine. Periodic examinations
will help monitor the healing process.
