| We
want your first visit to be a pleasant and educational experience.
We will go out of our way to answer questions regarding all of your
health concerns, and to this end Dr. Allen will be spending a full
hour with you on your first visit. This will include your consultation,
full health history, physical exam, and initial treatment.
Paperwork
This will be brief, but will help
us get started. Please bring any insurance information with you
on the day of your visit, as well as any X-rays or reports that
you have received from other doctors that you feel are applicable.
If you are on prescription medications, please bring a list of which
ones you are currently taking.
Consultation & Health History
Dr. Allen will review your paperwork
and your health history, to help you decide whether chiropractic
treatment is appropriate for you. Dr. Allen takes pride in having
access to excellent specialists for referral if your case requires
other types of care, such as medical, nutritional, or exercise therapy.
Physical Exam
You will receive a full spinal and
postural exam, as well as orthopedic testing to pinpoint your diagnosis.
Initial Treatment
Whether new to chiropractic care,
or an experienced patient, Dr. Allen will talk you through all aspects
of your first treatment. It is important that you not only know
what your treatment entails, but also why you are receiving it.
A well-educated patient gets better faster! Your first treatment
will include chiropractic adjusting and any applicable physical
therapies.
Home Care
You will be advised on what to do
that day at home to help your treatment, and whether or not to do
certain activities. Dr. Allen will discuss your treatment plan with
you so you feel completely comfortable knowing she will make certain
that you will reach your health goals quickly, with minimal disruption
to your daily life.
Your time and your comfort will always be our top priority!
