What To Expect

​

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

 

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with one of our chiropractors to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for our chiropractor to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

 

Examination

After your consultation, our chiropractor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

 

 

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, our chiropractors will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
 

  1. How can chiropractic care help me?

  2. How often do I need to come in?

  3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine, our chiropractors will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers. Dr. Mathews will  provide the best  treatment and wellness program for your needs.

 

Treatment

 At the conclusion of your initial appointment, you can choose to  receive your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, ultrasound, laser therapy, and/or corrective stretching and exercises. Treatment is interactive, and you are encouraged to express concerns or preferences about different styles of treatment at anytime.

 

Wellness Program

As part of your treatment, the doctor will suggest a wellness program  to continue your recovery outside of the office. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at-home exercises and/or stretches. Each person is unique; therefore every wellness plan is customized.  The goals of your wellness program are good spinal alignment, a  healthy diet, appropriate exercise, and a positive mental state.
