What
Takes Place On Your First Visit
During
your initial visit, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive
examination and history. Taking a look into your lifestyle,
the doctor will assess your diet, exercise, employment,
daily habits, past injuries, and symptoms to design a treatment
plan best suited for your individual needs. In some instances,
x-rays or other diagnostic tests may be required, but not
always. Each patient has a different reason for coming to
see us, and it is our goal to not only resolve your immediate
symptoms but resolve that condition and ensure a sense of
well-being.
Treatment
on the First visit will depend upon the specifics of your
condition. Most often treatment will include therapeutic
procedures to help make you feel more comfortable, often
including spinal manipulation. The doctor will also give
self-treatment advice, which may include exercises, nutritional
supplements, and the application of ice or heat.
Your
Report Findings
After your First visit, you and the doctor will
discuss your individualized written treatment plan. This
explanation will serve as your "map" along your
"road to recovery." The discussion will include
short- and long-term goal planning, and answers to the following
four questions:
1. What's wrong?
2. How can we treat it?
3. How long will it take?
4. How much will it cost?
Various treatment options will be explained, as well as
a recommended course of care. The doctor will also explain
the "Three Types of Care" and will assist you
in choosing which type of care is right for you.
