Your First Visit
On your first visit we conduct a thorough history and examination. All of this takes time, so we ask that you completely fill out your paperwork prior to your first visit. If you cannot complete the paperwork online, please arrive 15 minutes early.
Your assessment will focus on your area of concern as well as your overall state of your health. After the doctor diagnoses your condition, a discussion of treatment options and approaches follows, culminating with your first treatment if appropriate.
Please plan to spend an hour for your first visit. Subsequent visits range from 15-30 minutes.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We are friendly, very family oriented, and are excited to help you and your family.

You may have heard the notion that once you go to a chiropractor you have to keep going back. Before we answer that question, ask yourself how many times you have visited a dentist.

Once chiropractic care eliminates your pain and rehabilitates the injured tissues we do recommend that you maintain a schedule of periodic spinal checkups for prevention & maintenance.

So the answer is yes, we want you to keep coming back, but just periodically.
