Your First Visit

  • visit_forms

    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..

  • visit_consultation

    Consultation

    Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Joseph Wahl to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for our doctors to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

  • visit_exam

    Examination

    After your consultation, Dr. Wahl will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

  • visit_xray

    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.

  • visit_report

    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.   Dr. Wahl will always provide the best treatment and wellness program for your specific needs.

  • visit_treatment

    Treatment

    At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive and we care about your comfort so you can express desires and concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.

  • visit_wellness

    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.
