What to Expect on Your First Visit

1. Warm Welcome and Check-In

When you arrive at JS chiropractic, you'll be greeted by our friendly front desk staff. They’ll help you with the check-in process and ensure all necessary paperwork is completed. If you haven’t filled out your new patient forms online, you can complete them here.

2. Initial Consultation

Your first visit begins with a thorough consultation with one of our chiropractors. This is an opportunity for us to get to know you and understand your health concerns. We’ll discuss:

  • Your medical history

  • Current symptoms or pain points

  • Lifestyle and daily activities

  • Your health goals and expectations

3. Comprehensive Examination

Following the consultation, we’ll conduct a detailed physical examination. This helps us assess your overall health and identify any areas of concern. The examination may include:

  • Postural assessment: Evaluating your posture to identify imbalances or misalignments.

  • Range of motion tests: Checking the flexibility and movement of your joints.

  • Neurological and orthopedic tests: Assessing nerve function and joint health.

  • Palpation: Feeling the spine and surrounding muscles to identify tension.

4. Diagnostic Testing (if necessary)

In some cases, we may recommend diagnostic tests such as X-rays or MRI scans to get a clearer picture of your spine and overall health. These tests help us tailor your treatment plan more precisely.

5. Personalized Treatment Plan

Once we have all the necessary information, we’ll discuss our findings and present a customized treatment plan. This plan will include:

  • Recommended Treatments: Details of the chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, or other modalities we plan to use.

  • Frequency of Visits: How often you should come in for adjustments or follow-up appointments.

  • Goals and Expected Outcomes: What we aim to achieve with your treatment and how it aligns with your health goals.

  • Self-Care Recommendations: Tips on exercises, stretches, or lifestyle changes to support your recovery.

6. Questions and Answers

We encourage you to ask any questions you may have about your diagnosis, treatment plan, or chiropractic care in general. We want you to feel confident and informed about your path to better health.

7. Initial Treatment (if appropriate)

Depending on your condition and our findings, we may begin your treatment on the same day. This initial treatment is usually gentle and aimed at alleviating immediate discomfort and setting the foundation for your ongoing care.

8. Follow-Up and Communication

After your initial visit, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments as part of your treatment plan. We’ll also provide you with information on how to contact us if you have any questions or need to adjust your appointment schedule.
