Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our 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. King to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. King to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. King will perform a complete chiropractic examination including testing your reflexes and flexibility with an emphasis on improving function. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as indicated. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective chiropractic care plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. King will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
How can you help me?
How often do I need to come in?
What will my chiropractic care cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. King will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. King will provide the best chiropractic program for your needs.
Chiropractic Care
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first session. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Chiropractic care is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles or approach with questions as you are appreciating increased interest and understanding.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of the office. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique; therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve balance though spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
