Feeling better starts with your first visit to our office, so heres what should
you expect?
Step 1: Detailed Consultation.
We will sit down with our patients to find out all the detailed information surrounding your condition so
we can make an accurate assessment of what is going on in your body and your life. We know that
your health is a mirror of your physical, mental and emotional state of being.
Step 2: Examination
A physical exam is the next step. Your posture will be analyzed, a thorough evaluation of your range of
motion will take place, as well as pertinent orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic tests will be
performed.
Step 3: Radiographic study
We may take x-rays of your spine in the neutral position from the front and side. This will give us a
chance to evaluate the disc spaces of your spine as well as the surrounding joints and anatomy. This
will also help us assess if you have any degeneration and if so, the degree. These x-rays are taken in
our office, saving you time and the hassle of going elsewhere for this test. If your previous doctor has
x-rays of the affected area, we will also request those x-rays for use during evaluation of your condition
and to assist us in making a more accurate diagnosis.
Step 4: Diagnosis
We will diagnose and develop a plan of action with the goal of relieving pain, restoring function, and
achieving lasting results. This may include a referral to another medical specialist for further evaluation
and/or treatment if necessary.
What you should expect after your initial visit to our office?
Providing you are a good candidate for chiropractic care, (because remember, if you are not, we will
refer you to where you need to go) we will sit down with you and review our findings and recommended
action plan. If you choose to receive care in our office, we will start at that time. After you have
completed the outlined treatment plan given to you, a re-evaluation will be performed to insure that you
have responded to our treatment and you will be released from the initial phase of your care.
