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. You can also fill out our on line questionnaire or have your
paperwork mailed or emailed to your home.
Consultation
Once the
paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the
doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns and 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.
Laboratory and X-ray Studies
Your
specific condition may require us to order lab work or x-rays to either
rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most
effective treatment plan for you. In this case you may be referred to
an outside lab or to your healthcare system to have these tests.
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, soft
tissue therapies and/or supplements or diet advise. We welcome the
opportunity to work with all healthcare providers and also might
suggest co-treatment with other professionals to best serve your needs.
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,
as well as home exercises and/or stretches.
Schedule Your Next Appointment
You
will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit.
Generally speaking, patients are seen within the week and are provided
with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your
condition will also be discussed during this time.
