First Visit
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. Our staff will be happy to assist you through this process.
Consultation
There is no charge for your initial consultation. Once
the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the
doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as
potential treatment options. In some cases,
auto accident related injuries may be treated at no cost to you, if you
have been in a car crash, do not delay your treatment.
History and Examination
In
order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you
various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of
specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are
affected and to what extent.
X-ray Studies
Your specific
condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious
conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan
for you. We have modern x-ray equipment on site.
Same Day Treatment
Once
finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, patients
will generally be provided with their first treatment during this same
visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or
soft tissue therapies.
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
application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions,
as well as home exercises and/or stretches.
Schedule Your Next Appointment
You
will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit.
Generally speaking, patients are seen the next day and are provided
with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your
condition will also be discussed during this time. It is important to
keep your scheduled appointment.
