YOUR FIRST VISIT TO THE CHIROPRACTOR

PATIENT FORMS

Upon entering our office, we welcome you as a member of our wellness 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. Dennis or Brenda Brummond to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Dennis or Brenda Brummond to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

EXAMINATION

After your consultation, Dr. Dennis or Brenda Brummond will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

X-RAY STUDIES

Depending on your specific condition, we may order X-rays as well. X-rays can help us develop  the most effective treatment 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.  We work with Center for Diagnostic Imaging in Woodbury, who performs all of our X-rays and/or any other advanced imaging we may need.  Their state of the art facility and expert radiologists make sure we get the best and most accurate images and information available.

REPORT OF FINDINGS

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Dennis or Brenda Brummond will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

  1. How can you help me?

  2. How often do I need to come in?

  3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

 

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine, Dr. Dennis or Brenda Brummond will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Dennis or Brenda Brummond  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.

TREATMENT

At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.

WELLNESS PROGRAM

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a  wellness program  to incorporate outside of treatment.  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 doctors 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 good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.

We have also created our own unique wellness system called Top10 Wellness which produces great results physically, mentally and spiritually. This program combines once per week chiropractic adjustments, 3 one-to-one 25 minute exercise sessions per week and also 5 minute success coaching to learn specific tools to let go of mental blocks which prevent us from living a happy, balanced, peaceful life.
