Book OnlineWhat Happens When You Come In
Many people see a chiropractor for the first time because they are in pain. Others come to begin a preventive plan to stay healthy. Either way, we start by getting to know you and understanding how your body works.
1. We Talk
You tell us about any pain you are having, where it is, and how it affects your day. We take the time to listen so that nothing gets missed.
2. We Take a Closer Look
We may feel around the painful areas to get a better sense of what is going on. We will probably take X-rays to see your alignment, though they are not always needed.
3. We Explain What We Find
We believe pain is often the result of something in the body being out of alignment. We walk you through what we see and how we plan to help your body get back into alignment.
4. We Map Out Your Next Steps
Our goal is to help you feel better, and stay that way, as quickly as possible. You will know what to expect from care before you head out the door.
Getting Ready for Your Visit
A little preparation helps your first appointment go smoothly:
- Complete your paperwork ahead of time through our online forms.
- Jot down where you hurt, when it started, and anything that makes it better or worse.
- Review our payment options so you know what to expect.
- Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in.
