What to Expect on Your First Visit
-
Arrive early for your paperwork
You will need to arrive at our clinic 15 minutes prior to your appointment time, this gives you time to fill in the new patient paperwork before you go in to meet the doctor. If you have trouble writing for any reason, one of our staff members can help you.
-
Your first appointment
After your paperwork has been completed you will begin your appointment with the chiropractor. The initial appointment will include a thorough history, neurological and chiropractic examination which will last for approximately 45 minutes. If warranted, you may be sent for x-ray (this cost is usually bulk billed by the provider). You will then make a follow up appointment.
-
What to Expect on Your Second Visit
Your second visit is called the “Report of Findings”.
During this appointment your chiropractor will report his/her findings from the previous appointment and may go over your x-ray findings.
They will give their recommendations for care based on your complaint, your goals and their findings.
This appointment will usually last approximately 30 minutes.
