First Visit

Brief Paperwork

Upon entering the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

Consultation

Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.

Focused History and Examination

The doctor will ask you several questions about your condition and examine you to determine the most likely cause of your pain or discomfort. We consider this to be the most important step in the process so that we can direct your care effectively and efficiently.

X-ray Studies

We don't x-ray everybody, but your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.

Same Day Treatment

Following agreement of a treatment plan, patients will be treated on the first visit.
We want you to feel better as soon as possible.

Home Instructions

Prior to leaving, patients will be given self-care instructions. This may include instructions for ice or heat, modification of certain activities, and home exercises.

Schedule Your Next Appointment

You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
