First appointments are approximately one hour so that your visit does not need to be rushed.
Your first chiropractic appointment is an opportunity to understand what is causing your symptoms and decide what type of care makes sense for you.
Before Your Appointment
You will receive health-history and intake forms before your visit. Completing these ahead of time gives your chiropractor an opportunity to understand your health history and the reason for your appointment.
During Your Appointment
We will discuss:
- What brought you in
- When your symptoms started
- What makes them better or worse
- Previous injuries or relevant health history
- How your symptoms affect work, sleep, exercise, family activities, or daily life
- What you would like to be able to do more comfortably
Your chiropractor will then perform an examination appropriate to your concern. This may include movement, joint, muscle, neurological, orthopedic, or other clinical testing when indicated.
After the Assessment
We will explain what we found and discuss the options available to you.
If chiropractic treatment is appropriate and you are comfortable proceeding, treatment may begin during your first visit.
If additional investigation, imaging, or assessment from another healthcare professional is appropriate, we will explain that as well.
You are always encouraged to ask questions and be involved in decisions about your care.
