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.
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.
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.
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 within 1-2 days and are provided with a
complete review of the doctor's exam findings. Treatment options for
your condition will also be discussed during this time.
