Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our Consent of Care form and a Functional Evaluation form. Staff will be available if you have any questions during this time.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, the doctor will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- What will I need to do at home to help my care?
- How often do I need to come in?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine, the doctor will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. The doctors will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physio therapy modalities, and/or soft tissue/trigger point work. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state. We offer nutritional therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy and laser therapy in conjunction with chiropractic care and is highly recommended for overall health.
