What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor? Although each doctor' s process will vary, generally you can expect to complete a full health history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, range of motion evaluation, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays can usually be done at the doctor' s office. We will then schedule an appointment and review the results of the exam and x-rays with you. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may recommend physical therapy for initial pain relief. Depending on your condition, your doctor may schedule a series of visits for care. |
