Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This helps you to provide us with your health history and information about your condition.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and health history. This initial visit is designed for us to gather information about your and your condition to help determine if and how our care may meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, one of our doctors will perform a thorough orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examination. Our examinations are detailed, pertinent and informative. "To see is to know, to not see is to guess." We generally prefer to "see" the structure that we are working with, to make an accurate diagnosis and prognosis.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays. In some cases, they can even identify their problem areas themselves.

Report of Findings

After the information is collected  and examinations are performed, we will prepare a detailed report of all our findings and discuss all of your questions including:

1. What is wrong with me? What is going on?
2. Can you help me and what are my options?
3. How long will it take?
4. How much will my treatment likely cost?
   

After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, we will discuss our recommendations and notify you if your condition may require care with other providers. We will discuss and provide the best  treatment and wellness program to meet your needs.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of the Report of Findings and recommendations appointment, we will discuss a course of action or treatment plan, designed to meet your goals and expectations. This may include spinal adjustments and/or massage therapy.  Treatment is interactive, so that we are always working for you, and your desired results.

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor may suggest a wellness program.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises.  If you desire, we will work with you to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan to suit their own needs.  The purpose of a wellness program is to maintain good spinal alignment and function, have a  healthy diet, proper exercise, and to maintain a positive mental/emotional state.
