First Visit
Brief Paperwork
Upon entering
the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your
condition. Or to expedite the process, you can
click on patient downloads and fill out your paperwork prior to coming in.
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 us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious
conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan
for you.
Same Day Treatment
Once
finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, patients
will generally be provided with their first treatment during this same
visit. This may include spinal adjustments, and/or soft tissue
therapies.
Home Instructions
Prior to
leaving, patients 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
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.
