What You Can Expect From your First Chiropractor Visit
Not sure what it’s like to visit a chiropractor? If you’ve never been to a chiropractic appointment before, you might be wondering what it’s like. While things that are unfamiliar can sometimes be intimidating, learning about the process can help you feel comfortable.
We always aim to be open with our patients, explain as much as we can, answer all questions, and work together with you to help you find relief and improve your overall health. Here’s what you need to know about visiting a chiropractor.
A Detailed Discussion About your History & Symptoms
One of the main goals of the first chiropractic visit is to learn more about your condition. The more information we have, the better solutions we can provide. It’s important that we learn about your overall health situation and history, since this can guide us toward the right treatment options.
If you are feeling pain, experiencing reduced range of motion, or having any other issues, we want to know.
A Comprehensive Exam
Once you’ve told us about your history and your symptoms, we conduct a thorough examination. At this point, we’re looking for the potential underlying causes of your issues.
At Total Wellness Solutions, we treat more than just the symptoms. Rather than just focusing on one area, we’ll treat you as a whole person and examine and assess you to find the right solutions that will improve your overall health and wellbeing.
Information About Treatment Options
Each person is unique and dealing with their own unique situation. This means all treatment options must be individualized to find the greatest success.
The solution for you may be chiropractic care, but your situation may benefit from other treatment options as well, such as massage therapy, red light therapy, Class IV laser therapy, and many other options.
We’ll go over our suggested comprehensive treatment plan with you, explain all options, and answer any questions you may have.
A Chiropractic Adjustment
Your first visit may include a chiropractic adjustment, if that is what we determine to be the right course of action to take. Some people may be a bit apprehensive about getting an adjustment, but in reality there is nothing to worry about.
You may hear a popping sound during the adjustment, but you should experience no pain or discomfort. In fact, there’s a very good chance you’ll feel better once it’s done.
The type of adjustment you receive and the area that will be targeted will depend on your specific situation.
