New Patient Forms
Prior to your visit we will request that you complete the new patient forms that will be sent to you. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition. Upon entering our office for your new patient consultation appointment our friendly receptionist will be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you encountered while completing the paperwork before you are taken back to meet with your doctor.
Initial Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with one of our chiropractors to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for our doctors to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Physical Examination
At your initial consultation, our chiropractors will perform complete orthopedic and chiropractic examinations. Other standard neurological, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Ray or MRI Studies
Depending on your specific condition, your provider may order x-rays or advanced imaging studies such as an MRI as well. Radiographic images help us develop the most effective treatment plan and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their images up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, our chiropractors will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and possible x-rays or MRI images, your chiropractor will discuss their recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care additional supportive care with other providers. The doctor will collaborate with you to provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Initial Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you will experience your first chiropractic treatment. Treatment is interactive, so we encourage you to ask questions and express any concerns about the different styles of treatment your doctor is using at anytime.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of your formal treatment sessions. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
