Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will greet and welcome you as a member of our Chiropractic family.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Dan Anderson to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Dan Anderson to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Dan Anderson will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Your specific condition may require us to take X-rays to get a full evaluation of your condition. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or 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.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Anderson will have you scheduled for a report of findings and answer the three most popular questions:

1. Can you help me?
2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
3. How much is it going to cost?

After discussing with you your health history and your goals, examining your spine and  reviewing any X-rays or tests,, Dr. Anderson will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you.  If  Dr. Anderson believes he can help you he will  recommend a treatment and  wellness program just for your needs.

Chiropractic Treatment

 Patienst will generally be provided with their first Chiropractic treatment on the second visit after Dr. Anderson has given his report of his findings.  This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue terapies.  Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have bout the style of adjustments you will be most comfortable with.

Wellness Program

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 healthy habits and routines that will support your success.  Every body is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan.  The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a  healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control, exercise, maintain a positive mental state and stress relief.
