First Visit

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. Alternately, we have provided some forms below for you to fill out before you visit our office.

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.

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

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.

History

For those of you who are historically inclined, we have provided a link to Wikipedia's main page on Chiropractic Science so that you can see the history. While this link isn't particularly relevant to the business, we believe it gives an interesting viewpoint on where chiropractic science has been and where it is now. Be advised, you will be leaving our website and entering Wikipedia.

Forms

These are some forms that you can print out before your visit to our office with a brief description of each so that you can determine which form you need. The descriptions are hopefully sufficient, but if a better description is needed please ask us for clarification. Please note that these are in .pdf format, so you will need Acrobat Reader to access these files. You can download Acrobat Reader here.
