Here at ADIO Family Chiropractic, we want to ensure that when you enter our doors, you know exactly what to expect.
Once you have an appointment booked, you will be greeted by our friendly receptionist, who will be awaiting your arrival. We want to ensure that we understand you, your pain, and your history completely. We have New Patient Health History Forms available to download and fill out to bring with you to your appointment. Otherwise, please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment time to fill out the form when you arrive.
The New Patient Health History Form will ask about your family history because some issues in your body can be hereditary (but that does not mean that we cannot fix them). It will also ask you questions about your health habits and your medical history. We want to cover all bases so that we can help you as much as possible.
Once we go over your health history with you, we will take posture pictures, check how well you are balanced on bilateral scales, palpate your spine to find the cause of any problems you may be having. Most of the time, we perform X-rays to get a good look at your spine. Then we will give you your first adjustment to start the healing process.
The chiropractic technique our doctor uses is widely known to be very gentle. He uses two main tools: a drop table and an activator. These tools allow the doctor to perform spine adjustments without the need for twisting the body or moving arms and legs in awkward positions.
You will then schedule another visit so that Dr. Dave can go over your exam results and x-rays. Together, you can decide what you feel comfortable doing and come up with a game plan to get you on a path to feeling better.
If you have any questions regarding your first visit or any future visits, contact us today at (636) 498-2346.
