First Visit

New Patient Forms

Below is a link to ONLINE NEW PATIENT FORMS for you to fill out now to help expedite seeing the doctor prior to your visit.


Consultation

Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.


History and Examination

In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent. Many times especialy in chronic conditions, the protocol of Quintessential Applications is applied. (see Our Techiniques section). I tend to give a report of findings, as I am finding, so it is good to have someone taking notes was we examine.


X-ray Studies

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.


Same Day Treatment

Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, patients will generally be provided with their first treatment during this same visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.


Home Instructions

Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.


Schedule Your Next Appointment

You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within days to weeks and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
