Any new experience, especially when it
comes to your health, can be unnerving. We understand this and we will make
every effort to make your first experience very comfortable. Our friendly staff
and the doctor will answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.
We recommend for your first appointment, you arrive fifteen minutes early to
complete the required paperwork. A complete health history is the first step
for any new chiropractic patient. We will ask about old injuries, chronic
problems, and your current symptoms.
-
What are your sensitive or painful areas?
-
When did the pain start?
-
What caused the pain?
 In addition, the doctor might inquire about your family history,
dietary habits, job or work habits, and previous treatments for the current
condition (chiropractic, osteopathic, medical, etc.).
After reviewing the health history, the doctor will discuss his
findings with you and determine how your condition could best be treated. If
the doctor feels chiropractic will help you, then (and only then) will he
recommend a treatment plan - or if conditions allow, discuss a choice of
treatment options.
Treatments will be tailored to your specific needs and addressing
your specific health problems and personal concerns. Aside from adjustments,
other therapeutic methods, massage techniques, or home care remedies may be
recommended.
