Your first appointment
You will always get a warm welcome at Pure-Health. Everyone here is committed to making your visit comfortable and rewarding experience. After your forms are completed you will meet your doctor. If you are unfamiliar with chiropractic the doctor will take a few short moments to explain what he/she will be looking for in their chiropractic examination. The doctor will then review your health history, including all past injuries, persistent problems, and any current symptoms. The doctor will also inquire about your health goals for the future i.e. increased flexibility, returning to golf etc.
The doctor will complete a thorough, painless physical examination — postural, orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic.
If x-rays are necessary, they' will be recommended at this point.
Follow Up Appointment
Once the examination is complete, your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment to report the results of your examination, review your X-ray findings and discuss the cause of your symptoms. Patients are always shown their own x-rays and are encouraged to ask questions.
Then, if chiropractic care is advisable, the doctor will recommend a course of treatment. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, stretches and/or strengthening exercises.
If the doctor believes that chiropractic cannot help you, he/she will recommend an alternate course of action.
