Your First Visit
Upon entering our office we will greet you and welcome you as a member of our chiropractic family. We will request you fill out our new patient forms provided by the receptionist. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. Next you will have a consultation with our doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will meet your goals. After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition so that you have a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you. If necessary, the doctor may take X-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and problem areas themselves. After a thorough examination and history have been completed, you will be rescheduled for a follow up appointment. This gives the doctor time to evaluate your case, read and interpret your x-rays, and design a custom treatment plan that will meet your specific needs. Your Second Visit Once the doctor has studied your case, you will receive a detailed report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:

What To Expect Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain events must occur in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to build the roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of care we provide: Phase 1: Relief Care If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 2-4 weeks. Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are remodeled to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. In this phase the doctor will tailor specific corrective exercise and traction therapies to create long lasting health and wellness. This phase of care can last several weeks or several months depending on the severity of the condition. Phase 3: Wellness Care OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY. Once your body has fully healed, it's important to maintain the improvement realized from earlier care. It's much easier to maintain wellness than pick up the pieces after you fall apart. Usually, this requires a chiropractic visit 1-2 times per month, based on your lifestyle and overall wellness.
