Your first appointment
This appointment will be approximately 60-90 minutes depending in the complexity of your case.
Please come with a knowledge (or list) of your current medications. You will be asked to fill out paperwork pertaining to your current and past health history, accidents and/or injuries, surgeries and current compliant. Or you can click the link on this page and download, print, and fill out the forms prior to your appointment.
We will perform a thorough exam to identify the source of the complaint. Whether it be pain, discomfort, or even just "not feeling myself" we will help to identify the root cause in order to determine if chiropractic is suited for you. If we feel that chiropractic care is not the appropriate care for your complaint we will help you find the doctor who is best suited to your needs. Dependent on our exam findings, we may or may not adjust you during your first visit.
We will discuss nutritional habits and concerns to help guide you with any food, exercise or supplement changes that you would like to include in your wellness or treatment plan.
Follow-up appointments
Any follow up or continual appointments will be approximately 30-45 minutes depending on the complaint complexity.
I will always want to know any changes to your health history and medications.
