New Patients: What to Expect
WELCOME
Before the first adjustment, all new patients will receive a:
Health Consultation
Gonstead Chiropractic Exam
Full-Spine X-Rays
Review of Findings
This allows the whole picture to your health to be revealed and leaves no stone unturned.
First Visit
​
-
I start with a health consultation to get a baseline of your health and receive information on how best to help you. This can be very in depth, because I want to know the whole story!
-
Next is a gonstead chiropractic exam to add objective findings to solidify the information you shared during the health consultation.
-
Full-Spine x-rays will follow. This is a unique addition to complete the whole Gonstead system and one of the most important pieces of the exam. The x-ray will show the position of each bone in your spine. See The Gonstead Technique to learn more about why we take x-rays.
-
Day 1 will take about 1-1.5 hours. For the exam, Males may wear a gown or be shirtless. Females will be asked to wear a gown. I cannot give high quality care without being able to see and feel the whole back and spine.
-
No adjustment today! All of the information you shared with me during the health consultation, as well as the exam, and x-ray findings must be put together like a puzzle piece. Along with some calculations and measurements on the x-rays must be done before providing you with excellent care.

Appointment will be about 30 minutes. We will go over all the information from your health consultation, exam, and x-rays to put into perspective where you are on the health scale, and create a plan to remove subluxations, and start your restorative journey back to health.
-
After we discuss the above, it is time for your first adjustment!!
