What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?
Although each doctor' s process will vary, generally you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also for the Chiropractor to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. Most x-rays can be done at the doctor's office. Then we will have you return as early as the next day for your Report of Findings when your Chiropractor will go over the results of the exam and if x-rays are taken, the x-rays as well with you. Just after the Report of Finding you will begin care. Depending on your condition, your Chiropractor may schedule a series of visits for care.
