FIRST
VISIT
To ensure that your first visit with us
is a pleasant one, here are the procedures you can
expect during your initial encounter. In the interest of
being thorough, please plan on spending approximately
one hour with us.
- PAPERWORK: Complete the
necessary questionnaire and forms to help us get to
know you. The doctors will use this information to
help formulate your care plan.
- VIDEO: To acquaint you with our
office and explain how we help our patients regain
their health, most patients see a short 3-4 minute
video.
- CONSULTATION: You'll meet one
of the doctors, who will review your health history
and determine if yours is a chiropractic case. You
will be advised of the cost of any office procedures
and given a copy of our written financial policies.
- EXAMINATION: Standard physical,
neurological, orthopedic, and chiropractic tests
will be performed to determine the cause(s) of your
problem.
- DIAGNOSTICS: Surface
Electromyography, Thermal Scanning, and/or X-rays
may be taken to visualize the location of any nerve,
muscle, or spinal problems. This enables us to make
your chiropractic care more precise. Only the
necessary views and tests will be taken.
- CORRELATION: Before proper care
can be rendered, the doctors will study your
examination findings. Later, you'll see your X-rays,
review your tests, and discuss the doctors' findings
and specific care recommendations.
- ADJUNCTIVE PROCEDURES: The
doctors may suggest the application of ice, heat, or
use other procedures to help reduce your
symptoms and make you more comfortable.
- FUTURE VISITS: Your first visit
is complete. Plan to spend about an hour on your
next visit to receive the doctors' report of
findings and chiropractic adjustment. Then, typical
visits will usually last only about 25 minutes.
