First Visit
Entering our office can be a new experience for many individuals, and it is normal to feel unsure about what to expect. However, understanding the process can help to alleviate any fears or concerns. This article outlines what to expect from entering a chiropractor office, being evaluated, treated, and the benefits from your visit.
Entering the office
When you first enter the office, you will typically be greeted by a receptionist or assistant. They will ask you to fill out new patient forms, which include your personal and medical history, as well as any current symptoms or complaints. Once you have completed the paperwork, you will be asked to wait for the chiropractor in the waiting area.
Evaluation
During your first visit, the Doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the source of your pain or discomfort. This evaluation will typically include a detailed medical history and a physical examination. We will examine your spine and surrounding muscles, looking for areas of tension or misalignment. We may also conduct diagnostic tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to further evaluate the problem.
Treatment
Once the evaluation is complete, we will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs. Treatment typically involves manual adjustments, which are gentle, hands-on manipulations of the spine and joints to improve range of motion and relieve pain. Other treatment methods may include massage, stretches, electrical stimulation, and hot or cold therapy.
