Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a
member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient
forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with
your health history and information on your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Fred Jones to discuss
your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options.
This initial visit is designed for Dr. Fred Jones to learn more about
you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic
care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Fred Jones will perform a complete
chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other
standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be
performed as well.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well.
X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and
alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once
they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify
their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed,
Dr. Fred Jones will give you a detailed report of all findings and
answer any questions including:
How can you help me?
How often do I need to come in?
What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your
spine and X-rays, Dr. Fred Jones will discuss recommendations and notify
you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Fred
Jones will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your
needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to
experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments,
physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive,
so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment
anytime.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, Dr. Jones will suggest a wellness program to
incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first
come into our office this may include: ice or heat application
instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home
exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work
with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your
lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a
customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise,
and maintain a positive mental state.
