What To Expect

Consultation

You will have a 1 on 1 visit with the doctor to discuss you health concerns and the reason for your visit.

Chiropractic Examination

Following your initial health consultation, we will perform a complete and comprehensive chiropractic exam.

X-Rays (If Needed)

X-rays may be recommended based on your age, condition, and specific needs. They play a crucial role in assessing your spinal health. However, there are instances where X-rays may not be taken, such as during pregnancy, for most young children, if recent spinal X-rays are available, or in certain unique cases.

Spinal X-rays provide valuable insights, including the alignment of your spinal bones, the overall condition of your spine, and the safety considerations for adjustments. They also help us estimate how long certain spinal conditions may have been developing. Typically, patients receive up to four spinal X-rays during their initial visit. Follow-up comparison X-rays may be taken later to assess progress and refine your care plan.

With this detailed information, we can create a customized care plan, determining the precise adjustments and care frequency you need. During your Report of Findings, we’ll thoroughly explain your results and discuss the next steps in your journey to better spinal health.

Report Of Findings

Your report of findings will be scheduled the day after your first visit. This will allow your doctor to study your exam findings, along with your X-Ray information before going over the results in detail with you. You may invite anyone in your family to accompany you, if you choose. Your Report of Findings includes a detailed analysis of what you need in order to solve the problem that brought you into our office and what can be done in order to prevent it from happening again. Our recommendations are extremely comprehensive and tailored to your specific needs.

Adjustment Visits

At our office we understand that your time is valuable. This is why we have streamlined our office procedures to minimize the time spent in our office on your adjustment visits. With that being said, we do not rush your care. Our office procedures ensure that your visits are complete and brief. On most visits, you can expect to spend only about 5 to 10 minutes in our office. Of course if more time is needed, we will do whatever it takes to help you! Questions are not only welcomed, they are encouraged. Knowledge is power!
