What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your examination at the doctor's office may include – depending on the circumstances surrounding your pain – X-ray, neurological assessment, range of motions, orthopedic or other tests, and a complete health history.

After a thorough examination, your diagnosis and treatment plan will be discussed. Chiropractic care is not limited to spinal manipulation, though spinal manipulation is the distinctive treatment for which chiropractic is most known. Physiotherapies that may be incorporated into your treatment include electric muscle stimulation, massage, heat or cold applications, and others – all of which are drug free, non-invasive and promote natural wellness.

If your chiropractic examination reveals that lifestyle changes would benefit your condition, the appropriate information on posture, diet, nutrition, exercise, or other modifications will be provided to you. If that examination reveals that chiropractic is not the most appropriate form of treatment for your condition, a referral to the suitable health care provider will be made.
