Your
First Visit
What to expect
Going to the chiropractor for the first time will make some
people nervous! Of course, there is no need to be. Your first
visit to the chiropractor will be informative, relaxing and
comfortable. Your initial visit will go like this…
- Walk up to front reception and
introduce yourself to our friendly staff (most people have
booked an appointment in advance – recommended)
- Our staff will put you at ease
and start you on the paperwork
- You will then be taken to the
new patient room and asked to change into a gown
- You will be shown a short
introductory video to further reduce any anxiety
- The chiropractor will enter
and conduct a thorough history and chiropractic examination
based on you health concerns
- The chiropractor will answer
any other questions you may have and then ask that you return
to reception
- Your report of findings will be scheduled and you will be sent
for X-Rays if deemed necessary (see report of finding below)
- Your first visit usually takes
30 – 40 minutes
How to dress
On your first visit you will be asked to change into a gown in
order for the doctor to conduct a thorough spinal examination.
For all subsequent visits your normal attire is perfectly fine.
What to bring
On your first visit to the office we will require your health
card. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member and be
sure to bring a list of questions and concerns as well as a list
of any medications you may be taking. If you have had X-ray/MRI/CT
examinations recently and have access to the reports, please
bring a copy.
Your second visit: The Report of Findings
Your second visit will start with a comprehensive report of
findings during which your chiropractor will explain the
findings and recommendations from your first visit including
your X-Ray results if applicable. Your first chiropractic
treatment (called an adjustment) will take place once the
procedure has been thoroughly explained. Our front staff will
then sit down with you and work out a schedule of recommended
visits. |
