What To Expect From Your First Visit
The initial visit is around an hour to an hour and a quarter long. It will include the development of a full case history, and an orthopedic and neurological examination. A full explanation of diagnosed problems will be given and a course of treatment decided on. Adjustments will then be performed to correct any subluxations or misalignments discovered in the spine during the examination. In addition, the whole kinetic chain associated with problem areas exposed during the visit, i.e., hips, legs, ankles or the shoulder, arm, wrist and hand, will be carefully assessed, as well as associated muscles. Therapy will be applied to any trigger point problems discovered in the kinetic chain, and stretching movements will be advised for muscles found to be tight. Treatment options will then be discussed with the patient, and an individualized treatment plan will be established.
The second visit will take around a half an hour. During that time, we will take a brief history to see how you did after the first visit, and answer any questions that come up. This will be followed by adjustments and any therapies deemed necessary by the chiropractor. Therapies may include electrical stimulation, myofascial trigger point therapy (muscle work), Cryotherapy (ice), and heat.
