Patient Forms

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 the doctor your appointment is with, Dr. Schofield or Dr. Green, to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, your case will be considered for treatment.  If the doctors believe your case can be managed conservatively with chiropractic care, we will proceed with an examination.  This will include posture analysis, measuring range of motion, and certain orthopedic and neurological tests such as reflexes and muscle strength. 

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, your doctor will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, your doctor will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.  If we believe your case is not best managed by chiropractic care, we will make the appropriate referral either to your medical doctor or to one of the orthopedists or neurologists we have a professional relationship with.  We also can make a direct referral to an imaging center for an MRI or CT scan if indicated.  Whatever path of treatment is chosen, we put our patient's best interests first! 

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, interferential muscle stimulation, ultrasound, acupuncture, and/or Graston.  Each patient's treatment is specific for their needs and what we feel will deliver the best outcome.   

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor 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.
