What to Except on Your First Visit?
Your First Visit
We know that visiting a chiropractor for the first time can bring up questions. At Mission Chiropractic, we want your experience to feel comfortable, clear, and welcoming. Here’s what you can expect on your first visit:
How to Prepare
-
Wear comfortable and mobile clothing.
-
Bring your insurance information (if applicable) and identification.
-
if you have any images (X-Rays, MRIs) please bring them with you or have it sent to our office, especially in cases of prior spinal surgeries.
-
Arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paper work and relax before your consultation begins.
1. Welcome & Paperwork
Our friendly team will greet you and help with any new patient forms. This allows us to better understand your health background before beginning care.
2. Posture Screening
One of our chiropractic assistants will guide you through a Posture Pro screening, giving us an accurate picture of how your body is aligned and where imbalances may be affecting your health. This will also be used to track progress during your re-evaluation.
3. Consultation & Examination
Next, you’ll sit down with the doctor to talk through your health history, wellness goals, and any concerns you’d like to address.
the physical examination can include:
-
Palpation (using our hands to feel your spine and related structures),
-
Muscle tests/symmetry.
-
Orthopedic and neurological exams
-
Referral for further imaging if deemed necessary
Following this examination the doctor will discuss different treatment strategies catered to accomplishing your goals.
4. Your First Adjustment
If indicated based on your health history and physical examination, you’ll move into the adjusting room. Your chiropractor will guide you step-by-step through your first chiropractic adjustment, explaining everything so you feel safe and comfortable. Many patients notice relief and improved mobility right away.
5. Personalized Care Plan
After reviewing your results, the doctor will explain your tailored treatment plan, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident moving forward.
6. Posture Check
After your adjustment, the doctor will recheck and correct your posture before you leave the office.
7. Scheduling Your Next Visit
Finally, the doctor will walk you to the front desk, where our team will help schedule your follow-up visit, re-examination and answer any final questions you may still have following the appointment.
