NEW PATIENT FORMS

Upon entering our office, our receptionists will welcome you and request that you complete our new patient forms. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information about your condition.

HEALTH HISTORY

Next, you will have a health consultation with one of our experienced doctors to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you and your condition.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination. This will involve inspecting the injured area and performing certain specialized tests to delineate the exact injured tissue and to determine the root cause of your problem. Common tests include neurological and orthopaedic testing, posture analysis and functional movement screens. Radiographs (x-rays) and other form of imagining may be requested if necessary.

REPORT OF FINDINGS

Upon the completion of the health history and physical examination, the doctor will give you a detailed report of the exam findings, your diagnosis and then recommended a plan of management to help you recover as quickly as possible.

TREATMENT

Based on the doctors finding and your diagnosis, a treatment plan will be developed for your specific condition. This may include spinal manipulation, acupuncture, soft tissue therapy, physical rehabilitation, Laser Therapy or a number of other treatment options. If necessary the Chiropractor may choose to co-manage your case with another health care provider such as your family medical doctor or your nurse practitioner. This ensures that all aspects of your health are looked after in an optimal manner. Patients will be required to consent to all treatment and outside medical referrals before they are completed.
