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. Go to our new patient section and print the documents that apply to your special needs. Upon your initial encounter, 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 an opportunity for the Chiropractic Doctor to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis once a physical exam is performed which includes orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays can usually be done at the office. Your Chiropractor will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you once appropriatley analyzed. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may give you an adjustment and/or begin physical therapy, if needed. Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, your Chiropractor may schedule a series of visits for care.
