Your First Visit

If you're a first-time visitor, you'll need to give us some information about yourself including medical history and the nature of your condition. This is so that we can provide the best possible care, tailored to your specific circumstances.

 

Forms can be downloaded from the Forms tab under Family Chiropractic Care on this website.

 

A bit of paperwork

We will need to fill out forms that provide general information about your condition.

 

Consultation
During your first consultation with the doctor, you'll discuss any health-related issues and concerns. You will also learn about potential treatment options.

 

History and examination
In order to pinpoint the problem, the doctor will ask you a number of questions related to your condition.   You will undergo a hands on examination by the doctor to find any areas with vertebral subluxation complexes (VSCs).  

 

Home instructions
Before leaving, you may be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home.  You may be given instructions as to which activities are to be avoided.

 

Scheduling the next appointment

Regular treatment is essential to the process. We work our treatments around your schedule. Generally speaking, patients with acute conditions may need to be seen more frequently.  Other patients may require a maintenance schedule.  This will be discussed with you at your initial exam.

 

What to Expect After the First Adjustment

After first adjustment, you may become very tired and want to sleep.  This is normal for most people and you should be allowed time to sleep.  When you sleep is when the body heals itself.

 

Stenuous activities should be avoided for 24-36 hours.

 

You may tend to drink more water after your adjustment.

 

Some people become more rejuvenated after their adjustment.  Don't do too much and injure yourself or make yourself sore by overdoing it.

 

Some people are a bit sore after their adjustment.  This can last from 24-48 hours.  However, you should be better after the 24-48 hours.  If not, call the office.   Sometimes an adjustment can uncover an underlying condition that has not been apparent until the compensation is removed by the adjustment.  If this is the case, you may seem worse or develop an apparently new condition following the adjustment.
