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. If you wish to save time, you can download the

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 & 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.
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. Later in the treatment schedule, an exercise program will be
prescribed to stabilize and help improve your condition.
Review of Exam Findings
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. We'll discuss what's
wrong and whether chiropractic can help. We'll tell you how long it
will take and how much it will cost.
