What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?

Generally you can expect to complete "new patient" paperwork, which would include a full medical history questionnaire. You will then consult with Dr. Dahl. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. Durning this consultation the doctor will express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, postural analysis, reflex assessments, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. (In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis.) The doctor will go over the results of the exam with you. Depending on your situation, the doctor may begin treatment at this time. The treatment, known as an adjustment, shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, and your health goals, the doctor may schedule a series of visits for care. He will review his recommendations for your care on your follow-up visit.
