What to expect on your first visit. 

Upon arriving at the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. This paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. The paper work should take no more than 10 minutes to fill out and then you will be on your way to health and happiness. In order for the doctor to fully understand what the actual problem is, he/she will ask various questions related to your condition.

The doctor will then perform a number of specialized tests to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent. X-rays are necessary to receive care. The amount of x-rays will be determined by the doctors after they review your physical exam. To ensure that you receive the best care possible the initial visit is split into to sessions. This is to allow the doctors ample time to review your case history, physical exam, and x-rays. When the x-rays are completed, the patient is generally given some type of treatment during the same visit. Starting on your second visit, the majority of your spinal treatment will begin which may include:

 

• Gentle Spinal Adjustments
• Physio-therapies such as Spinalator tables
• Ultra-Sound or Electrical Stimulation
• Moist Heat or Ice Application
• Soft Tissue Therapies, such as Massage or Myofascial release
• Exercise and Stretching

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, proper sleeping habits as well as home exercises and/or stretches
