What to Expect
Online Booking
Before arriving to the office, please book a First Visit appointment online and complete the Intake Form.
Health History & Examination
On your first visit appointment, the purpose of you coming to the office will be discussed. Dr. Jodi wants to know how you are feeling as well as the impact your health concerns are having on your life. You will review your detailed health history so that she can see the whole picture and then, finally, perform an exam to physically feel your area of concern. On rare occasions, x-rays may be required to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.
Diagnosis & Treatment
If X-rays are not required, you will be provided with your first chiropractic treatment after Dr. Jodi has reviewed your diagnosis and the treatment plan with you- it is important that you understand how she will be treated you. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Home Instructions
Prior to leaving, you will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.
Schedule Your Next Appointment
You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit, generally speaking, within 1-2 days.
Second Visit
Treatment Plan & Report of Findings
During your second visit, we discuss options for chiropractic support and lifestyle changes and answer any questions you may have, including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
It is fundamental that you feel empowered to make decisions about your health and healing process while receiving the guidance and support that you need.
Follow Up Visits
After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length. In a word: no. A typical visit may require just a few, highly-focused, minutes. With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up what your spine and nervous system requires, adjust you and get you on your way.
Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds upon the previous ones.
