New Patients
Maybe you’ve heard about chiropractic care through a friend or did some research online. Maybe you’re just tired of living in pain. If going to the chiropractor is a new experience for you, don’t worry! We’re here to help you shed your pain and get back on your feet. Your first visit to our practice will be about getting to know your chiropractor and a chance for us to get to know you!
Appointments at our office typically begin with a bit of online paperwork before you arrive. Your skilled chiropractor will perform a physical examination, and take any necessary x-rays to learn more about the cause of your pain. We’ll also discuss your current condition and your goals.
We will take a look at the overall results and, together, come up with a plan of action specifically for you. We will talk about the type of treatment you will be receiving, any preparation necessary before beginning treatment, and when you can expect to see results. We will also discuss any lifestyle changes that may help you with your goals. As your partner in improving your health, your chiropractor will be with you every step of the way during your treatment.

Meet the Doctor
The doctor will meet with you to discuss your health related problems and concerns. He will then conduct a spinal exam, take x-rays if you need them and discuss potential treatment options.
In order to determine the root of your problem, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition and conduct some specialized tests to determine which tissues are affected and how severe your problem is.
Your condition may require us to take x-rays in order to help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you and rule out more serious issues.
After your exam and x-rays (if needed), you will receive your first spinal adjustment on the same visit. This can also include physical therapies, soft tissue therapies or traction.
Prior to leaving our office you will be given instructions on how to continue your care at home until your next visit with the doctor. This may include heat or ice application, avoidance of certain activities or stretches and exercises.
Your Next Appointment
After your initial visit and adjustment are complete, you will schedule your second appointment with the doctor. Most patients are seen with 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of the doctor’s findings along with their second spinal adjustment. On this second visit the doctor will go over in detail their findings of your x-rays and test and speak with you about treatment options, your expected outcomes and answer any questions you may have.
