What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?

Although the process will vary based on the individual patient, generally you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. We will then go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you. Then, depending on your situation, you may be given an adjustment and any other modalities suited to the condition. A follow-up treatment is then scheduled to determine the course of any additional treatment.
