What to Expect from Your First Appointment with our Chiropractor at Summit Medical Center in Broomfield
Have you been experiencing chronic pain and you think it is time you went to see a chiropractor? This could be the first step to healing your pain. However, if you are like most people, you might be nervous about your first chiropractic visit since you don’t know what to expect. Your first visit will be a lot like visiting any other healthcare provider. If you are in pain, do not hesitate to seek help from Summit Medical Care Center in Broomfield.
New Patient Forms
During your first visit, you will be asked to fill in a new patient form where you detail your symptoms. This will inform your chiropractor when the pain started and where it is located. We’ll also ask about any preexisting medical conditions, any other prior injuries, and information regarding your family’s medical history.
Exam and Diagnostics
The initial exam will include general tests including blood pressure, reflexes, and respiration. It may include other neurological and orthopedic tests whose aim is to test your muscle strength, muscle tone, and neurological integrity.
Depending on your condition or injury, our chiropractor may carry out diagnostic exams to help him identify any structural abnormalities and so that he can accurately diagnose your problem. Common diagnostic exams include X-rays.
Using your medical history and results from the initial exam and diagnostic tests, the chiropractor is in a position to come up with a treatment plan for you. You may receive a chiropractic adjustment on your first visit, or not at all, depending on the results of the exams.
