Your first visit will occur much like a visit to your regular medical provider. After completing
some brief paperwork (unless you’ve completed it online) one of our warm and welcoming
assistants will take you to your private room. Your doctor will then enter and introduce
himself, before conducting a detailed health history, including the reasons for your visit.
This is often an enjoyable, low-pressure discussion during which we learn more about you
in an unrushed format. Following this, your doctor will provide a physical examination. This
may include some orthopedic tests, neurological tests, or additional questions.
Afterwards, your doctor will explain your diagnosis, with an emphasis on answering the five
questions every patient deserves to know: What’s wrong with me? Can you help me? What
kind of treatment will you oOer? How long will it take to fix me? How much will this cost?
Following this, your doctor will begin treatment. If additional tests are needed, we will order
these at this point. During treatment, we will make sure to explain everything we do.
Following your treatment, you will be escorted to our main desk, where you will be checked
out and scheduled for additional visits if necessary

Contrary to popular belief, x-rays are rarely needed to begin care with a chiropractic
physician. Research has shown that in most cases a thorough history and orthopedic
examination are more accurate than x-rays when diagnosing the patient. However, if x-rays
are needed, your doctor will refer you to an imaging center with state-of-the-art imaging
technology, complete with a radiologist to interpret your images.

No way! There is no research supporting long-term treatment plans beyond what is
required to correct your initial complaint. Other clinics who sell these plans are often
operating as part of a larger practice management group with scripted sales tactics,
focused on profits rather than patients. Our doctors will only recommend care that is
necessary to resolve your condition.

Yes! Chiropractic care is safe for patients of all ages. Your doctor will recommend a specific
treatment plan, based in part on your condition, age, overall health, and your input.
Additionally, the Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal
of Medicine, the nation’s top medical journals, have routinely suggested patients with
musculoskeletal pain seek care from a chiropractic physician prior to undergoing surgery
or taking pain medicine. For this reason, our doctors are staO physicians at a local hospital,
as well as team doctors and consultants for multiple school districts and athletic
programs.
