Question 5

What to Expect during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

At your first visit, the Chiropractor will want a detailed history of both past and present health concerns. He will ask you to complete a personal health questionnaire to better understand all aspects of your health. This will all be completed prior to entering the treatment room. 
Once in the room, the Chiropractor will ask you question about the symptoms that you are presently concerned with and perform a comprehensive exam in which he will assess your range of motion and mobility, as well as any pain you may have.

He will then use all the information gathered to let you know if the concerns would be best treated with Chiropractic care. If so, you will have your first treatment during that visit, if not, they will refer you to someone that they feel is better suited to help your individual needs.

Your first visit will last between 30-45 minutes.
