What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit is about getting answers before any treatment starts.

• Health history. We ask where it hurts, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and about old injuries, which often matter as much as today’s pain.
• Exam. Depending on your symptoms, this can include range of motion, posture analysis, and orthopedic and neurologic testing.
• X-rays when appropriate. Low-dose spinal X-rays help us see the structure of your spine and rule out other causes.
• Your findings and plan. We explain what we found, whether chiropractic care can help, how long we expect care to take, how often we recommend visits, and the cost. If it isn’t a chiropractic problem, we refer you to the right specialist.

It’s normal to feel mild soreness, aches or stiffness after an adjustment. Let us know how you felt at your next visit.

How Chiropractic Pain Treatment Works

Your care is planned around your exam findings, not a one-size-fits-all routine. A typical plan moves through these steps:

• Calm things down. Gentle adjustments, plus supportive care offered at both of our offices, such as spinal decompression or massage therapy, when appropriate.
• Rebuild movement and strength. Home exercises, stretches and posture tips, so you’re not relying on office visits alone.
• Re-check progress. We re-examine you and, when appropriate, take follow-up X-rays, so your plan is based on what’s changing rather than on how you feel on a given day.
• Keep your progress. Once you reach your goals, some patients choose periodic check-ups and others keep up their home program.

When to See a Medical Doctor First

Chiropractic care isn’t the right first step for every kind of pain. Call 911 or get medical care right away if you have:

• Loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness in the groin or inner thighs
• Weakness in an arm or leg that is getting worse, or a foot that drags when you walk
• Pain after a major trauma, such as a car crash, a hard fall or a blow to the head
• Back pain with a fever or chills, or with unexplained weight loss
• Chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe pain that doesn’t ease with rest or a change of position

If you’re not sure where to start, call either office and we’ll help you decide.
