What to expect on your
first visit
Any
new experience, especially when it comes to your health, can be
unnerving. We understand this and we will make every effort to make your
first experience very comfortable. Our friendly staff and the
doctor will answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.
We
recommend for your first appointment, you arrive fifteen minutes early to
complete the required paperwork. A complete health history is the first
step for any new chiropractic patient. We will ask about old injuries,
chronic problems, and your current symptoms. What are your sensitive or
painful areas? When did the pain start? What caused the pain? In
addition, the doctor might inquire about your family history, dietary
habits, job or work habits, and previous treatments for the current
condition (chiropractic, osteopathic, medical, etc.).
After
reviewing the health history, the doctor will discuss
his findings with you and determine how your condition could best be treated. If the
doctor feels chiropractic will help you, then (and only then) will
he recommend a treatment plan - or if conditions allow, discuss a choice of
treatment options.
Treatments will be tailored to your specific needs—addressing
your specific health problems and personal concerns. Aside from
adjustments, other therapeutic methods, massage techniques, or home care
remedies may be recommended.
