New patients
Your first visit, step by step
Starting care should feel calm and clear. Here is exactly what happens, so there are no surprises.
- 1
Schedule a consultation
Call our office or send an appointment request. You do not need a referral to see a chiropractor.
When you call, let us know what is bothering you and whether you have had recent X-rays or an MRI. We will tell you what to bring.

Your first visit: history, exam, and X-rays if needed
We start by listening. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, health history, daily routine, and what you want to get back to doing.
Next comes a thorough exam: posture, movement, strength, reflexes, and nerve function. If X-rays are needed to understand what is going on, we can take them in the clinic, or review recent imaging you already have.

Findings and recommendations
Once your exam and any imaging have been reviewed, we sit down with you and explain what we found in plain language. We will tell you honestly whether we think we can help.
If care makes sense, we walk you through the recommended plan, how often visits are typically needed, and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.

Your personalized plan
If you choose to go ahead, your care is built around your findings. It may include chiropractic adjustments, home exercises, supportive therapies, and everyday guidance.
We check your progress along the way and adjust the plan as you improve. When something needs a medical doctor, we will tell you and can coordinate with your physician.
