The First Visit - 45 to 60 minutes

 At your first visit the doctor will discuss your relevant health history and perform an examination to determine if chiropractic care is appropriate for you. If necessary, x-rays may also be recommended. Utilizing the information from this visit the doctor will create a treatment plan specifically to meet your needs and best serve you.

The Second Visit - 30 minutes

The doctor will spend time discussing the important findings from your first visit and recommend a comprehensive treatment plan. They will also take the time to answer any questions that you may have. Next you will receive a chiropractic treatment, which will include gentle adjustments to the affected areas. Each technique will be discussed with you prior to using them, to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with the treatment being applied to your body.
