Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you. 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 Kristie McLean to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Kristie McLean to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Kristie McLean will perform a complete chiropractic examination including standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Report of Findings
Once
the information is collected and examinations are performed,
Kristie McLean will give you a
detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After
reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and
X-rays, Kristie McLean will
discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires
care with other providers. Kristie
McLean will provide the best treatment and wellness
program for your needs.
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, so you can express concerns about the different styles of
treatment anytime.
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, we 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.
