What
To Expect On Your First Visit
Upon entering our office, you will
greeted by one of our staff, and welcomed as
a member of our family. You will be asked to fill out our patient
intake forms, so make sure you have insurance information with you if you
will be using it. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself
and your condition. If the paperwork is not filled out ahead of time, please plan
on arriving 10-15 minutes before your appointment to do so.
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Trudell
or Dr. Ryan to discuss your health-related
problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed
for Dr. Trudell or Dr.
Ryan to gather information about you, your condition and your expectations.
This will help the doctors determine whether chiropractic care is the right choice
for you. Please be prepared to answer detailed questions concerning your current
problem, as well as your past health history.
After your consultation, Dr. Trudell or
Dr. Ryan will perform a complete chiropractic examination,
which includes testing your reflexes, your ranges of motion, as well as other
standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing
will be done in our office without your consent.
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to
make a complete evaluation. X-rays of your spine help us rule out more serious
conditions and also assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan
for you. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often
immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Once all the information and examinations have been
performed, Dr. Trudell or Dr.
Ryan will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:
dddd1.
Can you help me?
dddd2.
What do you recommend that I do to get better?
dddd3.
How long will this take?
After discussing your health
history, your healthcare goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays
or tests, Dr. Trudell or Dr.
Ryan will discuss treatment recommendations with you. If you have a condition
that requires care with other healthcare providers, the doctor will discuss that
with you. If Dr. Trudell or Dr.
Ryan believes that chiropractic can help you, they will recommend a treatment
and wellness program.
Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion
of the appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or
soft tissue therapies. Treatment is an interactive process, so feel free
to discuss the style of adjustment that
you will be most comfortable with.
Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness
program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our
office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain
activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. If
you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you
to create good habits and routines that support your success. Everybody
is different, therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan.
The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining a healthy
posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements,
keeping your weight under control and stress relief.
