Welcome!
It's your first time to the office, so here's what happens...
You are probably coming to see a chiropractor because you are in pain, and want to be rid of it as fast as possible. There are a few steps to get you there, and this is how:
There is always paperwork. Fortunately, it only takes a few minutes to fill out before we get started. It will cover most of the information we need from you about why you are coming in, and some other important health info. The doctor will fill in the rest during the examination.
The Physical Exam:
When you are finished, the doctor will bring you back to a private treatment room and perform a physical examination based on your complaint. This will include a history of your complaint, as well as an orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic exam. It just means that he will test the joints and muscles of your body, as well as the nerves that make them work to decide the correct diagnosis and treatment for you. This is what takes the majority of the time on the first visit and will not have to be done on following visits.
Once the doctor has learned what the cause of your problem is, he will explain exactly what is going on in a very simple ways of understanding it. He will then decide if there are any additional tests needed such as x-ray or referral to another provider of a different specialty. If that is not needed, he will then discuss all of the treatment options available, including chiropractic care.
The Treatment:
The main chiropractic treatment is the adjustment, along with some manual muscle therapies and exercises. Everything the doctor does while you are in the office, and prescribes for you to do at home between visits, is to get you out of pain faster, and back to doing the things you love.
Total time is about 30 minutes for your first visit
Please arrive about 10 minutes early for the paperwork.
