What to expect from your first visit
The purpose of the first visit is to determine if you belong in my office.  I will do a complete, detailed case history and perform an examination.  The examination will consist of Chiropractic, Orthopedic and Neurological tests to determine the cause of your problem.  I may then take X-rays.  X-rays are taken only when necessary and only the MINIMUM number of X-rays are prescribed.

After this, if I feel I can help you, I will tell you.  If I feel I can't help you, I will tell you that too.  If this is the case, I will make appropriate recommendations to help you get the care that you need.

This visit usually lasts approximately 30 minutes.
What to expect from your second visit

We will discuss all of my findings (examination and X-rays) and then we discuss your treatment options. 

Questions I will answer on this visit:

1) What is the cause of my problem and can Chiropractic hepl treat it?
2) How much will it cost?

3) Approximately how long it will take for my health to return?

4) Are there any other treatment options available?


Next, you will get your first treatment.  Treatments at my office may consist of any of the following:  Electrical muscle stimulation, moist heat packs, cold packs, massage therapy, ultrasound, stretching and Chiropractic spinal manipulation.

The second office visit, also lasts approximately 30 minutes.
What to expect each subsequent visit
Each subsequent visit will consist of any combination of the above-mentioned therapies.  Depending upon how you respond to the treatments, we may alter your program of care accordingly.

Each subsequent visit lasts approximately 15 minutes.

Over the course of your treatment you will be taught many things to help in your care.  These include the proper way to sleep, sit, stand, bend, and lift.  We will discuss diet and nutrition if necessary.  We may discuss stress reduction techniques.

At my office, we may need to make lifestyle changes in order for you to regain and maintain total health.  You, the patient, play an extremely important role in this journey.  I need your help.

Our primary goal is to help get you out of pain, but, even more importantly, we need to work very hard, FOREVER, to prevent your problem from coming back.
