Your First Visit to Lifetime Family Chiropractic

Practice Member Forms

Upon entering our office, we will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our practice member forms located in the New Practice Member Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

---

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential care options. This initial visit is designed for us to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

---

Examination

After your consultation, we will perform a complete chiropractic examination. 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 take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective 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, the doctor 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 treatment cost?

After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, the doctor will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. We will provide the best care and wellness program for your needs.

Care

At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience care in our office.  Care is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different adjustments anytime.

Wellness Program

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