Your First Chiropractic Visit: What to Expect

The Doctor of Chiropractic will complete a thorough examination that typically includes:

Patient History
Physical Examination
Diagnostic studies Ex. Xray, MRI (when indicated)
Diagnosis
Chiropractic treatment plan

Patient History

Prior to your initial consultation, you will be asked to fill out forms that provide background information about your symptoms and condition. Questions may include:

When did your pain/ condition start?
Where is the pain located?
Did your pain/condition immediately follow an injury or accident?
Does anything improve or worsen the pain?
What treatments have your already tried, and how successful were they?

You may also be asked to provide information on family medial history, any pre-existing medial conditions or prior injuries, and previous and current health providers and treatments. To properly diagnose your problem and design a treatment program, your chiropractor needs to know about any of the following:

Bone disorders such as osteoporosis
Implants like pacemaker, artificial joints, spinal stimulators, etc.
Circulatory problems
Dizziness or blurred vision
Heart conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure)
Nausea/Vomiting
Injuries, such as bone fractures, muscle sprains/strains, or disc injuries
Joint disorders such as arthritis
Any current health condition for which you are receiving care from another health care provider

When applicable, bring any copies of previous tests including X-ray or MRI reports, lab results, and a list of medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications, nutritional supplements, vitamins, herbs, teas, and homeopathic and/or naturopathic substances.

Chiropractic Examination

The chiropractor will perform examination/evaluation of your condition and develop a working diagnosis. In addition to general physical examination procedures such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration and temperature, the examination will include specific orthopedic and neurological tests to assess:

Range of motion of the affected area that is observed while you walk, turn, bend or lift.
Muscle tone
Muscle strength
Neurological integrity
Posture Analysis
Foot Levelers Scan to determine ‘flat feet’ or need for heel lift
X-ray, MRI & CT scans are referred out to local radiology center

Treatment

If you and the Doctor of Chiropractic agree that chiropractic will help, you may as a part of your treatment plan receive your first chiropractic adjustment. Typically, patients are asked to lie on a specifically designed table and the chiropractor most often uses their hands to manipulate the joints of the body (particularly the spine or extremities) to reduce pain and restore or enhance joint function. Your chiropractor will adapt the treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
