First Visit
Patient history, exam, adjustment, possible referral for x-rays.
This visit is all about starting to understand your specific injury, and how we are going to begin treatment. Most patients receive an adjustment on the first visit.
Going to the Chiropractor is a new experience for many of us. Maybe we’ve heard through a friend or have done some research online. It’s possible that you are just fed up with living in pain and it’s time to do something about it. In either case, your first visit to the chiropractor will really be about getting to know the chiropractor and discussing your history, current condition and goals.
As with any doctor’s visit, you’ll start by finishing some new patient paperwork. Upon meeting with the doctor, you’ll discuss your concerns and expectations as well as have the chance to ask any questions you may have. We will perform a physical examination to see what your current state is. Once this is complete, we’ll take a look at the overall results of our conversation and the exams. Together, we’ll come up with a plan of action which will begin when you are completely satisfied and ready to move forward.
Second Visit
Report of findings – discuss your specific situation more in-depth, answer questions from first visit. Begin the plan of attack on your current situation.
Regular Visit
Quick conversation on how things are going, followed by adjustment. Possible stretches and exercises specific to your condition may be discussed at different times through the care plan.
Maintenance Care
After we have reached our goal of decreased pain, some patient’s continue to return as needed to maintain their progress. You are living your life to the fullest, congratulations! Both you and all of us at Giebel Chiropractic want to keep and improve upon this optimum level of health you have achieved. Maintenance care helps you achieve just this. Maintenance care is not for everyone, but it should be a goal for everyone.
