Chiropractic Initial Assessment

Service Description

At your first chiropractic appointment, you'll begin by filling out paperwork detailing your medical history, current symptoms, and lifestyle habits. The chiropractor will then consult with you to discuss your symptoms, ask questions, and understand your goals for treatment. A physical examination follows, which may include posture assessment, range of motion tests, neurological checks, and orthopaedic tests. Based on the findings, the chiropractor will explain your diagnosis and outline a treatment plan, including how many sessions you may need. In some cases, you may receive your first adjustment during this visit. After the adjustment, you may be given aftercare instructions like using ice or heat, stretching, or avoiding certain movements. It's common to feel relief after the session, though some mild soreness similar to post-workout aches may occur and typically fades within a day or two. It is recommended to wear comfortable, gym style clothing for your appointment.
