| Your First Chiropractic Visit
Upon entering the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information about you, your health history and the reason for seeking chiropractic care.
 History
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with Dr. Smith to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition.
Examination Next, a number of Chiropractic, Neurologic and Orthopedic tests will be performed to determine what structures are affected and to what extent. X-Ray Studies Your 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.
Next Visit/Report of Findings
When the doctor has completed your examination, the results of the tests and x-rays will be compiled. The doctor will then study your x-rays and test results and prepare a full report of findings. Typically this report is given on the on the next visit. The doctor will take the time to explain the findings, review your X-rays and give you his recommendations for care.
According to Gray’s Anatomy:
“The nervous system is the master system in the body and controls and coordinates all other systems such as respiratory, digestive, muscular, immune and so forth.”
