REPORT OF FINDINGS:

To enhance your understanding of the chiropractic approach that will be used to manage your health, immediately following your first adjustment, you will be scheduled for a 'Doctors Report of Findings'. The information you receive at this appointment will be both informative and clinically relevant to your case, therefore attendance is required for individuals who wish to become new patients of this practice. Because the results of your x-rays and all examinations as well as the doctors' recommendations for care, will be discussed at that time, we strongly urge new patients to invite their spouse or significant other to attend. We know from experience that when a patient's family understands the goals and objectives of chiropractic care and how restoring and maintaining good health can affect their lives as well, they become infinitely supportive and helpful in making important decisions concerning treatment options.

NEW INJURIES:

In the event you sustain a new injury, please let the front desk coordinator know as soon as possible. There may be additional paper work to be filled out.

RESCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS:

We set up specific treatment schedules for our patients. A certain number of treatments in a set amount of time are required for us to get the results we both desire. If you need to change this time, please reschedule your appointment for another time. If the same day is not possible, be sure to make up the missed appointment within one week.

PROGRESS EVALUATIONS & RE-EXAMINATIONS:

Progress evaluations & re-examinations will be performed periodically to determine your rate of progress and future course of treatment. A special time will be set up for your re-evaluation appointments.
