First Visit Paperwork Upon entering the office, we have some paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. To save you time you can download and complete the appropriate forms before coming to our office. See the Form section of our website for details. Consultation Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your specific health-related problems and concerns. You will then be advised about your treatment options. History and Examination In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent. All of the findings are evaluated and corelated to help form a diagnosis. X-ray Studies Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Same Day Treatment If your condition is urgent, we may receive care during this same visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies. Home Instructions Prior to leaving, patients may be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. Schedule Your Next Appointment You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time. |
