Your First Office Visit
More and more people are experiencing the benefits of chiropractic either through word of mouth or as an alternative to medication and surgery. If this is your first experience we want to make you feel comfortable. We take our time and explain all procedures and answer all questions pertaining to your condition and treatment.
First we take a detailed history of your condition and your overall health. Is this a recurring condition? Did it come out of the blue? Can it happen again? Are faulty biomechanics, bad habits or poor posture contributing? We also search for other factors that may be contributing to your present condition. We will listen to your concerns.
We then conduct an extensive physical examination. We first want to determine if your condition can be helped by chiropractic. If the condition is such that we feel another type of doctor would be best suited to you, we will refer you to that type of doctor. If we feel your diagnosis falls within the scope of chiropractic, we will discuss the type of treatment and the treatment plan and what can reasonably be expected.
Our goal is not just to relieve your pain but to allow you to resume an active lifestyle. After a back injury some people may be afraid to resume activities such as lifting their children or grandchildren, gardening, returning to the gym or just lifting grocery bags. We do not just want to relieve your pain. We want to correct the cause of the condition to try to prevent it from happening again. Our goal is to allow you to resume an active lifestyle.
