At
Spine & Sports Chiropractic Care, we know that with so many
demands placed upon your daily schedule, time is always of the
essence. We are also aware that no one plans for an injury to
occur and it is important to get back to your regular activities
as quickly as possible. That is why we try to offer convenient
office hours and are able to accommodate most emergency appointments
on the same day.
On the day of your initial appointment, please plan approximately
60 minutes for your visit. The initial visit entails the following
components:
• Initial Registration:
You will need to fill out specific paperwork for your initial
visit. You may download and print the necessary paperwork by
clicking here, Patient Initial Registration
Forms. Please bring these completed forms with you to your
initial visit.
• History: A thorough
discussion pertaining to your current health concern(s) as well
as past medical history will be performed in order to gain insight
into the condition(s) at hand.
• Physical Examination:
A comprehensive examination will be performed in order to help
determine a clinical diagnosis and will include a neurological
and orthopedic evaluation as well as an assessment of your posture,
flexibility, and joint and muscle function.
• Treatment Plan:
Your diagnosis will be explained in detail and an appropriate
treatment strategy will then be discussed. Treatment in our
office may consist of various manual and soft tissue therapies,
therapeutic modalities (electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound,
traction), as well as rehabilitative exercises.
• Home Instruction:
Pertinent instruction on any appropriate home care will be given
and may include ice, heat, proper body mechanics, stretches,
exercises, etc.
