Your initial visit to our office will consist of gathering some important information, such as your insurance provider, health history, and reason for visiting. We do ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes early for your appointment in order to fill out the necessary paperwork. It is important to gather and properly document this information in order to have your insurance pay for the visit.
After you have filled out all the necessary paperwork, you will have a brief interview with one of our board-certified chiropractors. This interview helps us better understand your situation and determine if you are a good candidate for chiropractic. Our chiropractors can refer you to another specialist if they determine chiropractic would not be the best treatment for your situation.
Finally, we will perform a chiropractic exam and diagnostic tests to determine what your injuries are and how best to treat them. Once the initial diagnostic tests are finished, a chiropractor will perform your first treatment session. Expect to be with us for about an hour for your first visit. Later visits will be shorter.
It is important to note that you do not need a referral from another doctor in order to visit a chiropractor. That being said, some insurance companies and Workers’ Compensation do require a referral from your primary care physician before they will cover the cost of treatment.
Things To Consider Before Your Visit
You should always consider gathering some information about the chiropractor you are planning on using before your initial visit. It can be helpful to conduct a preliminary interview over the phone or in-person that does not include an exam. This can be a great opportunity to learn about a chiropractor’s training and experience, treatment philosophy, and whether you would be comfortable working with them.
We also invite you to check out some of the heartfelt testimonials we’ve received from our other patients. These are people who have come to us after being in a traumatic accident or who have been living with pain for a long time. They needed help on their journey back to full recovery and found incredible relief after working with our chiropractic team.
