Paperwork
Complete a brief questionnaire to help us get to know you. The doctor will use this information to help formulate the recommendations for your care.

Consultation
You'll meet the doctor who will review your health history and determine if yours is a pain management case.

Examination
Standard physical, orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic tests will be performed to determine the cause(s) of your problem. This will take about ½ hour to 45 minutes.

X-ray Exam
Necessary views may be taken to visualize the location of any problems, reveal any pathology, and make your care more precise.

Correlation
Before proper care can be rendered the doctor will study your examination findings. Later, you'll see your X-rays, review the doctor's findings, and get specific care recommendations.

Adjunctive Procedures
The doctor may suggest the application of ice, heat, or the use of some other procedure to help reduce inflammation and make you more comfortable.

Next Visit
Your first visit is complete. Plan to spend about 40 minutes on your next visit to receive the doctor's report of findings and plan of care.

Report of Findings
You'll see your X-rays and receive a report of the examination findings.

Treatment Plan

Spinal Manipulation
The doctor may use carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore the movable bones of your spine to a more normal motion and position. Our patients enjoy their "adjustments" and often report the beginning feelings of relief and well-being.

Adjunctive Procedures
If necessary, the doctor may also recommend the application of ice, heat, or the use of other procedures to help reduce inflammation and make you more comfortable.
