What to expect on your first visit

Kelly ChiropracticAfter arriving for your new patient appointment, our staff will welcome you and give you a health history form to complete. We will  take you through to the doctors exam room for an initial consultation. You will be asked about your health concerns, some general background health questions will also be asked. If you are accepted for care, a thorough physical exam will be performed, such as a postural evaluation, thermograph scan, range of motion checks and palpation. We will often take x-rays so we can get a better understanding of your spine.

What comes next: The doctor will process and correlate all your consultation and examination information. You will return for your report where your findings will be explained. If you are a chiropractic candidate the doctor will recommend chiropractic care, which involves adjustments to your spine.

Chiropractic care is a managed process by the chiropractor and the patient. The chiropractor is expected to explain fully their findings and deliver the best care possible to improve your health. Your responsibilities are to follow the chiropractors advice as best you can, perform the exercises recommended to you and keep your appointments as best you can. We encourage you to ask any questions you have about anything to do with your care. We look forward to meeting you!
