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.
