What Can I Expect On My First VisitBrief PaperworkUpon entering the office, there is some brief paperwork to fill out. To expedite your visit, print out the forms located at the bottom of this page and bring them with you to the office. The paperwork provides us with general information about you and your condition.
ConsultationOnce the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with one of our doctors to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.
History and ExaminationIn order to determine the nature of your problem, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which vertebrae and nerves are affected and to what extent.
X-ray StudiesYour specific condition may require us to take x-rays, to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan. The x-rays provide the doctor with valuable information regarding the condition and health of your spine.
Same-Day TreatmentOnce finished with the examination and all appropriate tests, patients will generally be provided with their first treatment during this visit if they are considered a candidate for chiropractic care. This may include spinal adjustments, traction, and/or soft tissue therapies.
Schedule Your Next AppointmentBy calling us at (425) 391-5050 (Issaquah) or (425) 396-5570 (Snoqualmie Ridge), you will be given an appointment for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen the next day and are provided with a complete review of the examination and x-ray findings. Treatment recommendations for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
