Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms when you arrive. This paperwork provides us with your health history.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Nikki to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential care options. This initial visit is designed for Nikki to learn more about you and your expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Nikki 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.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific situation, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Nikki will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my care cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Nikki will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Nikki will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you will experience your first chiropractic adjustment. This may include warm-up exercises and stretches. Your treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of care at anytime.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of our office. This may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve adequate spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
