What to Expect with Chiropractic Care
When visiting a Chiropractor, this is what you can expect.
Much like any other doctor’s appointment, you’ll be asked to complete a medical history form, followed by some questions about the reason for your visit.
- When and how did the pain start?
- Where is it located?
- Does the pain come and go, or is it continual?
The chiropractic examination will help your doctor of chiropractic develop a treatment plan, taking the following into account:
- Extent of the injury or irritation
- Your general health
- Condition of your spine as affected by the injury
At Integrative Health, Inc. we will begin your treatment plan during the initial appointment.
- Therapeutic manipulation/adjustments
- Strengthening exercises
- Techniques to improve soft tissue healing and pain control
Before the end of your appointment, you and your doctor of chiropractor will establish your goals.
- Short term goals- reducing pain and help restore funcation.
- Long-term goals- restoring funcation, and getting back to the activities you love, pain-free.
- Establish a treatment plan.
