First Visit
Brief Paperwork
Upon entering the office, there is some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides me with general information about yourself, your past medical history and your condition.
History and Examination
In order to determine what your actual problem is, you will be asked 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.
Consultation
Once the examination has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.
X-ray Studies
Your specific condition may require x-rays examination 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, home exercises and/or stretches and other activities unique to your case.
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 findings. Further treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
