Below are the activities you can expect on your first visit and subsequent visits to Dr. Scott's chiropractic office.
Complete Paperwork
On your first visit we will ask you to fill out some brief paperwork concerning your medical history, which gives us important information about yourself and your past medical conditions. This will help us in the examination and any required treatment. To print the forms out now, click here.
History & Examination
In order to diagnose your circumstance, Dr. Scott will ask you a series of questions related to chiropractic conditions and will conduct specialized exams to determine the severity of your condition. A chiropractic exam will also consist of orthopedic and neurological tests and an evaluation of your posture.
X-Ray Studies
Your condition may require on site x-rays to further evaluate possible structural imbalance, which may contribute, to your condition. An x-ray serves as a "map" of your backbone allowing us to pinpoint diagnosis and treatments.
Same Day Treatment
Patients usually receive treatment following the examination. The treatment normally consists of an alignment of the spine and heat therapy.
Post Exam Consultation and Home Care Program
Before the second treatment Dr. Scott will provide (if necessary) a full Post Exam consultation for you. He will explain the prescribed treatment for recovery of your condition. This may also include a personalized Home Care Program that will cover things like; how to sleep, how to sit properly at work, how to lift items, supplementation, etc. The program may also include basic exercises, stretches, ice or heat application and instructions regarding certain activities or positions to avoid. If follow up visits are needed they will be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you.
