Your First Visit: What to Expect
We understand that your first visit can be an exciting but also potentially unfamiliar experience. We aim to provide a comfortable and informative environment, so you can make the most of your initial chiropractic appointment. Please complete the required online paperwork prior to your initial visit and plan to spend about an hour with us. Here's what you can expect:
1. Warm Welcome: As you step into our office, you'll be greeted by our friendly receptionist who will help you with the necessary paperwork. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow ample time to find street parking and get settled prior to meeting with the chiropractor.
2. Consultation: Your first visit will typically begin with a one-on-one consultation with your chiropractor. This is your opportunity to discuss your health history, current concerns, and any specific goals you have for chiropractic care. We encourage open communication, and your chiropractor will listen attentively to your needs.
3. Comprehensive Evaluation: After the consultation, your chiropractor will perform a thorough evaluation, which may include orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic assessments. This examination helps your chiropractor understand the specific needs of your body and determine an appropriate course of care.
4. Treatment Options: If it is appropriate and safe to do so, your chiropractor may provide your first adjustment or treatment during this initial visit. These techniques are typically gentle and non-invasive, and your chiropractor will explain the process to ensure your comfort and understanding.
5. Addressing Your Questions: We encourage you to ask questions and share any concerns you may have during your visit. Your chiropractor will be happy to address them and provide you with any additional information you need to make informed decisions about your care.
6. Upon check out, the receptionist will assist you in scheduling your 2nd visit also known as your Report of Findings. 30 minutes is allotted for this visit to allow plenty of time for your chiropractor to discuss your personalized care recommendations tailored to your unique needs. This will outline the recommended treatment options, expected outcomes, and any lifestyle adjustments that may aid in your recovery or overall well-being. Depending on your specific care recommendations, your chiropractor will discuss the frequency of future visits and the expected duration of your treatment. This will help you understand the commitment involved and the potential benefits of consistent chiropractic care.
Your first visit to our chiropractic office is the beginning of a journey toward better health and well-being. We are committed to providing you with the knowledge and care you need to achieve your health goals. We look forward to partnering with you and supporting your path to optimal wellness.
