During your initial consultation, we will discuss your previous health history, uncovering physical, chemical and emotional stresses from childhood until today. If necessary, x-rays will be taken after a detailed and thorough physical examination (Flexibility and some Neurological and Muscular tests for subluxation on the spine). This visit will allow us to determine if in fact our office can accept your case. (In some rare cases, a referral to another health professional is warranted.)

After the examination, we can recommend an adjustment style that is right for you. Adjustment techniques will be suited according to the preferences, body type, age, and condition of each patient. Your first visit is roughly 30-45 minutes long.

Your next visit is called the “Report of Findings”. During this visit, the details of your exam and x-rays will be discussed, and you will be provided with a thorough explanation of your results. At this point a program of care will be outlined to you (frequency of visits, duration of care, office fees, policies, and procedures.)

Once your Report of Findings is complete, you will then be escorted to an adjusting room, and we will begin your care. Your appointments will then be scheduled in advance. (Your Report of Findings is generally 30 minutes long). You will then also be booked for your special “Half Hour to Optimal Health” Spinal Care class to answer any possible question you may have about your health, your care at the office, and stretches/exercises to help with the spinal adjustments.

Each visit (adjustment) after your Report is only roughly 3-5 minutes long. While it is necessary to follow your program of care to get the maximum results, we feel that your visits to our office should not interfere with your daily lives. That is why our office is highly efficient, and waiting times for your adjustments are kept to a minimum.
