Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for our health professionals to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, a complete chiropractic examination will be performed testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Advanced Imaging Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may recommend advanced imaging such as X-ray or MRI. This imaging helps us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious conditions.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, a detailed report will be given to you, explaining all of the findings. This is also a good time to ask any questions such as:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, our health professionals will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Here at Rosa Family Chiropractic, we are determined to provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include heat, electric muscle stimulation, soft tissue therapy, Graston Technique, spinal adjustments, Kinesio Taping, rehabilitation, etc... Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
