Nobody wants an important procedure or treatment
performed before appropriate testing is done. So, at Anderson Chiropractic,
our first objective is to determine if and where a spinal problem
exists. We do this by using the following step-by-step procedure
on your first visit:
•
Health Questionnaire – old injuries, chronic problems, and your
present symptoms are recorded for study.
•
Consultation – after reviewing your health
history, one of our network of doctors meets with you to discuss
your condition. This helps determine appropriate
tests to be done. There is never a consultation charge.
•
Examination – chiropractic, orthopedic and neurological testing
is performed. This helps narrow down on possible causes of your condition
and locate specific spinal problem areas. Relax! These exams are not
painful and there is no need to disrobe.
•
X-rays – performed in our office (if clinically necessary),
add precision to and confirm exam findings by visualizing the location
of spinal misalignments, weaknesses, pathologies or degenerations,
plus show a history of spinal stresses and make your adjustments
more specific and effective. X-rays serve as the blueprint of your
spine
and are used to determine the cause of your condition.
This concludes
your first visit. one of our network of doctors then will study
and correlate the findings from this visit, and as quickly as possible
on another day, the doctor will meet with you for a complete report
of his findings. At this time, the doctor will tell you if yours
is a chiropractic case or not. If so, recommendations
are outlined
and expected cost and results are listed. One of our network of
doctors also takes
time
to answer any questions you may have regarding the details. Following
this meeting, if
you
and one of our network of doctors determine that the spinal correction
process is the
best treatment for your condition, the process will begin with
your first chiropractic adjustment. |
