Your first visit
Patient Forms
Upon entering our clinic, our happy and friendly Chiropractic Assistant will welcome you as a part of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
Consultation
The consultation is a chance for our Chiropractors to get to know all about you. We will learn about your current health problems, concerns, how it is affecting you day to day. This initial consultation gives the Chiropractor the information about your body is working. We want to get to know you and how we can make sure we can help.
Examination
After your consultation, the Chiropractor will perform a thorough examination. Most patients are shocked by how thorough we are. This will normally include neurological, bio-mechanical, orthopaedic, range of motion and cardiovascular testing. Along with this we will digitally assess your posture and scan the spine.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, the Chiropractor will take all the information away regarding this case and prepare a report. A subsquent appointment will be made to give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine, if the Chiropractor determines that chiropractic won't help your condition then the Chiropractor will discuss recommendations for referral to an appropriate specialist. At Chiropractic First we provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
If after your report you decide to go ahead with treatment, then that normally takes places on that second visit. Treatment varies from patient to patient. Depending upon your age, condition, severity etc. this may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment any time. Our fee schedule is listed here
