Consultation
A chiropractic consultation is the first step in a patient's journey toward spinal health and pain relief. It typically involves a detailed assessment to understand the patient's condition and determine if chiropractic care is appropriate. We will discuss health concerns and symptoms, review past medical history, and determine if chiropractic care is suitable for you.
Examination
After your consultation, we will perform a complete chiropractic examination. We will perform standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests in order to assess your ailments. During this examination, in conjunction with a thorough patient history and consultation, we will attempt to identify a differential diagnosis for the root cause of your discomfort.
Diagnostic Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may give prescriptions for differing diagnostic studies such as X-rays or MRIs. We will utilize these studies to help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, we 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 treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and diagnostic studies, we will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers.
Treatment
Treatments include electric stimulation therapy, manual and trigger point therapy, myofascial cupping and release, chiropractic adjustments, and more. Treatments are subjective and personally tailored for each patient's needs.
Wellness and Home Exercise Program
Prior to leaving, we will go over exercises and provide advice to incorporate into your daily life outside of treatment. Examples of this may include cessation of certain activities or positions to avoid future pain and injuries, and at home exercises and/or stretches to help improve overall recovery. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness and home exercise plan.
