We try and ensure that all patients are seen as quickly as possible so that the healing process may begin.

After some initial paperwork, the examining doctor will greet you and thoroughly discuss your medical history. It is during this conversation that your doctor will decide whether your condition is something that may benefit from chiropractic care in our office.  If care is appropriate, a physical exam will follow to further confirm and pinpoint the exact issues involved. This exam may include a testing of reflexes, muscle strength, posture, orthopedic, and neurologic function.

At this point the doctor will summarize his or her findings and treatment will begin. If advanced imaging or the involvement of other medical specialists is required, this will be addressed.  Treatment may include any combination of some or all of the techniques used in our office.

At home recommendations (or as we say, “homework”) may be prescribed. An individualized course of conservative treatment will be recommended so that you will have a clear understanding of what is to come. Once the initial symptoms are resolved, a supportive course of treatment may be discussed to minimize the recurrence of similar problems and allow the patient to continue to progress towards optimal function.

This first visit typically lasts between 45 minutes and one hour. Please come prepared with your medical history, any imaging scans and reports (X-ray, MRI etc.), and insurance information. We advise that patients wear comfortable clothing.
