What
To Expect on Your First Chiropractic Visit
When
you arrive for your initial appointment you will be asked to
provide us with some information about your health history,
and the nature of your current complaint or reason for your
visit. After you complete this short process, your chiropractor
will spend some time talking with you so that she will better
understand your condition and be aware of any other health concerns
you may have.
Once
the doctor feels that she has a complete understanding of the
history and nature of your complaint, she will perform an examination
to help her evaluate your condition and develop a working diagnosis.
If it is necessary, women may be asked to put on a gown and
men may be asked to put on a pair of shorts so that your doctor
can better assess your condition. After the examination, your
chiropractor will explain her diagnosis and will address whether
she feels chiropractic treatment is appropriate.
If
chiropractic care is deemed appropriate, she will discuss the
specific types of treatment that will be helpful and a schedule
for treatment. If sufficient time is available on the first
visit, your doctor will provide treatment. The types of therapy
that we provide include physiotherapy modalities such as therapeutic
ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, ice and heat, soft
tissue massage such as myofascial release and trigger point
therapy, chiropractic manipulation, exercise therapy, and rehabiliation.
If you would like to know more about chiropractic manipulation,
please refer to the FAQ section.
In
contrast with some chiropractors, our doctors believe that a
patient should notice a significant improvement after eight
to twelve visits. If little or no improvement is seen within
that time frame, we will reassess your complaint and most likely
provide a recommendation or referral for other treatment. In
most cases, it is most effective for a patient to receive treatment
more frequently in the early stages of care. We may recommend
that you be seen two or three times per week for the first two
to four weeks depending on your individual case.
