When you come in for your initial assessment, you will be asked to fill out an intake form, containing questions pertaining to your chief complaint and a full health history. Your chiropractor will then go through a thorough history and physical examination, with the goal of getting to the root cause of your issue(s). If you have any medical documents (i.e. x-ray or MRI reports), you may bring a copy of them with you. It is important for you chiropractor to have a complete picture of your health history and overall current health in order to determine the best treatment strategy for you. From there, your chiropractor will provide you with a working diagnosis and a plan of management that is best suited to your condition and comfort level. If further tests or imaging are required, you will be referred to the appropriate specialist. If not, your treatment plan may begin on the same day as your evaluation. If possible, wear clothes that you can move comfortably in and which will allow access to the area of complaint. You should expect to be in the clinic for one hour for your initial examination.
