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.

Consultation


Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns and how chiropractic care can help you. We never perform any procedures/service until everything has been explained and the patient is ready to start care.

 The Exam

A thorough examination will be performed to assess what type of care you will need. A number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which areas of the body are affected. A spinal surface EMG scan and possibly X-rays may be required to complete this examination.

The report and findings

The doctor will discuss the results of your exam and explain the findings in detail. He will discuss the treatment plan necessary to return to wellness. You may be referred out to an appropriate specialist if the doctor feels he cannot help you with your problem.

 Treatment

After your report of findings, you will receive your first chiropractic adjustment. Physicotherapeutic modalities, soft tissue therapies and rehabilitation exercise may also be utilized to restore spinal structural integrity and the function of the nervous system, allowing your body to heal and return to optimum health .

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 applications, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as, home exercises and/or stretches.
