Your First Visit

Congratulations on taking the first step towards better health!

We will guide you through each step of our process of becoming a new patient.

     We strive to make your first visit to our office a comfortable experience. You can request an appointment on our website, or you can call our office.  When you call to make your appointment, we will need some basic information from you.  This will include your health complaint(s) and any insurance you want us to file.  We will have your chiropractic benefits verified through your insurance before your appointment.

     The doctor requires x-rays to be taken of most everyone.  We do not take x-rays in our office, instead we will refer you to an express medical office near your home.  We fax the office your x-ray order, and you can get them taken at your convience before your appointment.  We have the new patient paperwork on our website for you to download before your appointment.  Your first appointment will last about an hour. 

     Once you enter our office, if you haven't already, we will have you fill out the required paperwork.  These forms will give us important information about you and your condition.  It is important to be detailed when filling out your paperwork.  

     The doctor will spend time asking specific questions about your condition to determine if chiropractic care is right for you.  If so, certain treatments will be discussed.  After discussing your condition, the doctor will give you a thorough chiropractic examination.  This exam consists of testing your ability to turn and bend, your reflexes, and other standard postural, neurological, orthopedic, and physical examinations.  

     After reviewing your exam, intake forms, and x-rays the doctor will go over her findings and explain the treatment that is best for you.  She may suggest adjustments, therapy, rehabilitation, laser therapy, other therapy, or a combination.  This is when she will perform the agreed upon treatment.  Nothing is done without your consent.   

     Most patients will get relief from the very first adjustment.  After your treatment, you will come to the front desk to check out.  You will be given a welcome package, which includes various educational material regarding your treatment.  The doctor will suggest a treatment plan for you, and you are able to make your next appointment around your schedule.
