First Visit

Brief Paperwork

Prior to your visit we will email you a link to fill out new patient forms online to expedite your visit to see the doctor. 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 us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. We do not have X-ray at our office, but will refer out to an Imaging if needed.

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, physical therapies, 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

After our initial treatment, we will discuss a plan of action for moving forward with you follow-up appointment, and how we can best manage your care. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time. We are NOT the type of practice that tries to sign you up for dozens of appointments and an extended costly treatment plan. We generally see our patients 1-5 times in the first month and a half, then suggest monthly maintaince visits.
