What to Expect on Your First Visit?
The first visit is probably the most important, this is where we gather all the information that we can concerning your condition. Feel free to speak freely with the doctor. Every thing is strictly confidential.
During your initial free consultation we will gather a history and list of symptoms you’re concerned with. At this time if we feel your situation will respond to Chiropractic Care we will procede to examination.
During exam we will check your range of motion (or your flexibility) , we will also touch your back looking for tender areas and areas of tension that may be causing problems , X-rays may be taken at this time to further evaluate and correlate your symptoms with your condition.
After examination, recommendations will be made that best fit your condition; if your situation requires a referral to another health care provider it will be suggested at this time.
We realize how important your time is and will schedule your visits to best meet your schedule as we possibly can.
Recovery Symptoms?
Recovery symptoms are experienced on rare occasion when treatment is initiated.
They range from mild discomfort to noticeable symptoms. This can be brought about by several factors through toxins released and being eliminated, or from long term misalignments and fixations.The spine can get sore on the first few visits until they get used to functioning more properly. The longer the vertebral unit is dysfunctional the more likely you are to experience recovery symptoms. It’s similar to the exercise soreness some people experience when they haven’t exercised in awhile.
Your doctor is interested in any symptoms you may notice so feel free to communicate with him about any thing that concerns you.
The good news is if you do experience recovery symptoms remind yourself that it is a sign that the healing process has been initiated and they normally don’t last past a few days.
