Thank you for inquiring about us!
On your first visit should expect the following:
1. Fill out general forms (see Forms below)
including your name, address and insurance information (if
applicable). You'll also be asked to provide a copy of your photo id
and insurance card.2. The doctor will inquire about your complete health history,
including any surgeries, medications, major traumas, or auto
accidents and any other diagnoses that may relate to your first visit.3. An examination
including range of motion (how well you can turn or bend), palpation
to assess motion, muscle tightness and tenderness, postural analysis
and other orthopedic and neurologic tests to determine if x-rays will
be necessary.4. If necessary, x-rays may be ordered.
Not all patients of Dublin Family Chiropractic require x-rays on the
first visit. This is not part of our typical "protocol" for every
patient. We only order them if we feel they are necessary. If you have
recently had x-rays or an MRI taken of your spine, please feel free
to bring them with you, including the report. 5. A report of the doctor's findings
will explain the diagnosis and focus on how to treat the area, as
well as explain more about how chiropractic works and some of the
changes you will possibly experience.6. If no x-rays were ordered, an adjustment may be performed
on the first visit. Chiropractic treatments consist of re-aligning
the segments of the spine, as well as physical therapy that may
include heat, ice, electric stim, vibration, roller table, decompression, manual (massage) therapy, Shockwave Therapy or any combination of
the above. The doctor will determine a treatment plan based on the
findings. *Everyone is different and every BODY heals
differently, and this will be taken into consideration when
determining the treatment plan. This plan can (and will) be changed
based on the speed of which you improve in conditions and health.
