What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?
On your first visit to our office, you can expect to be greeted by a friendly and caring staff. As a new patient you will complete a full medical history and paperwork. After a tour of our office, you will consult with the doctor. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations and to ask any questions you may have about Chiropractic care. Also, the doctor will express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a detailed postural evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis and will be taken and developed within our own office. In your report of findings, your Chiropractor will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you. Then, depending on individual situations, the doctor may give you an adjustment or begin rehabilitation if needed. Depending on your condition and prognosis, your Chiropractor may schedule a series of visits for care. |
