Patient Forms
Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family. We will request you fill our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.
Consultation
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Toth to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. You will be asked to answer a lot of questions. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Toth to learn more about you, your condition, your medical history, lifestyle in addition to your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Toth will perform chiropractic examination which may include postural analysis, testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Ray Studies
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to to get a full evaluation of a patient. X-ray is sometimes required to get a full evaluation of a patient. Generally, diagnostic radiographs help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are amazed once they see their own x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves. Our equipment is state of the art for imaging and is regularly tested to ensure our factors are at their safest levels.
Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, Dr. Toth will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:
- Can you help me?
- What do you recommend that I do to get better?
- How much is it going to cost?
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. Toth will discuss these recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. Toth believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program which is tailored to your unique needs.
Treatment
Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of the first appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.
