Tips for Your Chiropractic Visit

Tips for Your First Chiropractic Visit

Before Your First Time Going to a Chiropractor

If you’re going to see a chiropractor for the first time, you’ll want to make sure you’ve completed the necessary paperwork. Prior to your appointment, fill out our New Patient Health History Form. This will help get you in and out faster at your first appointment. A few other tips we’d recommend for your first chiropractic visit: make sure you’re coming off a good night’s sleep, have had a light and healthy snack, and have had plenty of water.

What to Expect at the Chiropractor

After you’ve arrived at our offices and taken care of any outstanding intake paperwork, you’ll meet with your chiropractor for the first time. Your doctor will perform a comprehensive examination to determine where you are in your journey and how chiropractic treatment may be able to help. Depending on your condition, X-rays and other scans may be necessary.

With all the facts at hand, your chiropractor will produce what’s known as a Report of Findings. We’ll go over your condition, the potential underlying causes of your pain, and recommended methods for addressing those issues. You won’t just have to settle for tips on your first visit—you can receive your first chiropractic adjustment the same day.

Before you get your first adjustment, we’ll make sure everything is in order. We’ll verify your insurance to ensure that you’re covered, go over flexible payment options, and give you an idea of how often you should get treatment so you can set your calendar accordingly.

Following Your First Adjustment

If it’s your first time going to a chiropractor, you can rest easy knowing that we’ll tell you exactly what to do after treatment. Your chiropractor will let you know what to expect following a chiropractic adjustment and recommend steps to take after your visit. This may include corrective exercises and stretches as well as plenty of rest. And we’ll help you schedule your next visit before you go so that you can stay on top of treatment.
