New Patients

When you come in, our friendly chiropractic assistant will welcome you. She will take the completed forms and create a file for you. If you weren’t able to complete them in advance that’s okay. We will give you the paperwork to fill out. We just ask that you arrive 15 minutes early if you prefer to complete the forms in the office.

You’ll also be offered water or tea, and then be given a brief office tour. We will show you the adjusting area and describe some of our other services that we have in the office.

Next, you can expect the following:

The consultation:
You’ll be brought to a consultation room and invited to have a seat. Then, you will meet your doctor and have a chance to discuss, in detail, what has brought you in. If the doctor feels we can help you, we will let you know at that point.  If you want to proceed, exams are next.

The examination process:
Our initial assessment process is very comprehensive.  In addition to an in depth investigation of your initial complaint, we will also perform a detailed neuro-structural analysis of your musculoskeletal and nervous systems. After the examinations, we will most often take X-rays.

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

This appointment takes 45 minutes to an hour total.

Communication Before Your Next Visit:
Before your second visit, you’ll receive a friendly email that details what you’ll experience at your next visit.

In the meantime, our doctors will analyze all the data that we collected on your first visit and have it all organized into an easy to understand review that has all your findings, our recommendations and information about our office and how we feel we can help you. You will be given copies of all your results.

Your doctor will discuss all of your examination findings with you and give you any recommendations at that time. As four ears are better than two, we recommend that you bring your spouse, partner, or friend with you.
If you’re interested in proceeding, we will go through all the financials. The care plans can typically be from two to six months, depending on the individual and what their needs are. If you agree to begin, you’ll receive your first checkup and adjustment.

Rest assured that you’ll be fully informed each step of the way what is going to happen.

The Report of Findings appointment takes 30 -45 minutes.

Regular visits are brief. About 10 minutes in total, with just three to four minutes of time getting adjusted.

If you are on a six-month care plan, we will have you come in about every six weeks to get rechecked and retested. These visits are scaled-down versions of the examination and report of findings.

Our philosophy is Test, Don’t Guess.  As such, as you move through your corrective care program, we will have regular objective measures of your improvement.  We know you will be feeling better but we want to be able to measure your progress too.
