First Visit

Paperwork

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

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 ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.

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.

Care Plan

Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, patients will be provided with a care plan that will be explained on a future visit called the Report of Findings. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.

Home Instructions

Patients may 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.
