What to expect

It is a pleasure to welcome you as a new patient. We accept patients that we truly feel can be helped. I use a holistic approach to health, which is appreciated by my patients. My goal is not merely to relieve your present ailment, but to analyze the cause and recommend appropriate changes in lifestyle in order to prevent these same conditions from recurring.

Case History

An initial chiropractic examination will include a case history and a physical examination. We will ask you to tell us about your current complaint, family history, your employment, your life style, and the medical care you are receiving along with any medication you are currently taking.

You may download the New Patient Forms and complete them before your arrival. Please be sure to bring them with you on your first visit.

Initial consultation

During our conversation and review of your health history, I will ask questions and do a lot of listening. This is also a great time for you to have your questions answered as well. If I think we can help you and you agree then we can proceed to the examination.

Examination

Our exam includes General, Orthopedic, Neurological, and Chiropractic examinations.

General: This is a general evaluation that includes the recording of height, weight, pulse, blood pressure and similar objective measurements.

Orthopedic: These examinations test your ability to turn, bend and move key joints of your skeletal system through their expected range of motion.

Neurological: We'll test your dermatomes, deep tendon reflexes, muscle strength and other aspects pointing to the health of your central nervous system.

Chiropractic: These tests can include postural evaluations, static and dynamic palpation and other procedures to reveal structural and neurological problems.

We will then go over your findings and give you some recommendations for care on your first visit.

Regular Visits

Once you have begun your care plan, typical visits take approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Depending on your particular plan, it is sometimes necessary to do additional gentle supportive therapies. These can take up to 15 additional minutes. We recognize your time is valuable. We do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.
