What to expect on your first visit

At the first visit, you can expect the physician to complete a thorough chiropractic evaluation that includes:

Patient History

In preparation for your chiropractic evaluation, you will be asked to provide background information about your lifestyle (diet, exercise, hydration, sleep, stress management, and environmental exposures), symptoms, and current condition. You will also be asked to provide the physician with information on family medical history, any pre-existing medical conditions or prior injuries & surgeries, medication & supplement use, and previous and current health providers and treatments.

Physical Examination

Once the history has been completed, a thorough physical examination will take place. In addition to general tests such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and reflexes, the chiropractic examination will include specific functional, orthopedic, and neurological tests to assess:

• Ranges of motion
• Muscle tone
• Muscle strength
• Neurological integrity
• Orthopedic Tests
• Functional Movement

Based on the above examination results, further tests may be medically necessary to arrive at the diagnosis and to help uncover root causes of dysfunction. These include Diagnostic Imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT and US). Because we do not have in-house imaging, Dr. Tom will refer out if imaging is needed.
