Any new experience, especially when it comes to your health,
can be unnerving. We understand this and we will make every effort to make your
first experience very comfortable. Our friendly staff and the doctor will
answer any questions and address any concerns you may have. We recommend for
your first appointment, you arrive fifteen minutes early to complete the
required paperwork. A complete health history is the first step for any new
chiropractic patient. We will ask about old injuries, chronic problems, and
your current symptoms.
-
What are your sensitive or painful areas?
-
When did the pain start?
-
What caused the pain?
In addition, the doctor might inquire about your family
history, dietary habits, job or work habits, and previous treatments for the
current condition (chiropractic, osteopathic, medical, etc.).
After reviewing the health history, the doctor will discuss his
findings with you and determine how your condition could best be treated. If
the doctor feels chiropractic will help you, then (and only then) will he
recommend a treatment plan - or if conditions allow, discuss a choice of
treatment options.
Treatments will be tailored to your specific needs and
addressing your specific health problems and personal concerns. Aside from
adjustments, other therapeutic methods, massage techniques, or home care
remedies may be recommended.
