Be very excited, this is the experience that will bring you closer to good
health. You will be greeted by a friendly, courteous staff that will take your
important medical information and will guide you through our office. Your doctor
will speak with you about your specific complaint and will take thorough notes
on your medical history. Please bring any pertinent information such as MRI
reports or X-rays. A thorough examination will be performed to help diagnose
your condition. X-rays may be taken to help rule out aggravating factors. When
needed, other diagnostic tests may be ordered.
Once your doctor has reviewed the radiographs and their exam findings, you will
be given a full report of what can be done to ensure the improvement of your
condition.
If your chiropractor feels chiropractic will help you, then a treatment plan
will be given. Treatment will be given in an individualized manner and will
be tailored to your specific needs. This will consist of specific chiropractic
adjusting to get you moving pain-free again. Complimenting your adjustment,
any number of physiotherapeutic modalities, massage techniques, or home care
recommendations may be given.
Your first visit usually takes anywhere from 1 to 1 ½ hours. Arriving
fifteen minutes early for paperwork will help to ensure a low wait time to meet
your doctor.
