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

Although each doctor's process will vary, generally you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also for the Chiropractor to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays are usually be done at the office. Your Chiropractor will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you on your next visit. In some emergency cases, the doctor may choose to perform a spinal correction on your first vist depending on the severity of the situation. Normally the Doctor will never adjust your spine without taking the time to fully go over your exam and x-rays with you. Our Doctors are very thorough and like to make sure you understand the complexity of your spinal condition so you can make an educated decision about how you want to proceed in your correction phase of care. Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved.

We will go over several affordable financial plans with you so you can receive the care you truly need and not be stressed about the visit fees. We are committed to helping you and your family put your Health First.
