What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?

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.

Consultation
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with me and we will discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.

History and Examination
In order to determine what your actual problem is, I will ask you various questions related to your condition. It is amazing how many times we find other related problems in our patients once we begin to discuss their health problems.

Tests
Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.

The first test we perform is called a Surface EMG test.

A Surface EMG measures the electrical impulses generated when a muscle contracts. It functions in the same manner as an EKG for your heart, but is even more sensitive. It helps us to find problems even faster, and helps us to see when a patient is improving.

We perform these scans throughout the period of treatment for our patients, so we can watch the improvement.

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. These are done the same day in our office, so there is no delay in starting your care!

Same Day Treatment
Patients come to our office for pain relief, not to be put off to another day. As soon as we have a good idea what is causing your pain, we get right to work to relieve it. We have many forms of treatment to provide. We pride ourselves on the number of gentle approaches to relieve pain. One of the favorite programs with us and our patients is the PRO-ADJUSTER SYSTEM!!

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. And we are always available for questions!

Schedule Your Appointment today.
Even though we are a very busy office, we make arrangements to accommodate all of our patients, including scheduling new people.

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.

Feel free to schedule a complimentary tour of our office. We would be proud to have you join us.
