INITIAL CONSULTATION

Service Description

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. 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 and 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. We pride ourselves on performing a thorough examination. By the time, the process is over, you should feel like we have an excellent grasp on your condition and how to treat it. X-ray Studies Some conditions may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious problems 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 will typically include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies and muscle work, such as Active Release Technique (ART), massage or trigger point therapy. Home Instructions Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted
