What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?

Although each doctor' s process will vary, generally you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also for Dr. Barbaro to express her role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays can be performed at our facility.

The Doctor's report will include the results of the exam and x-rays. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may accept your case and proceed with treatments and adjustments. Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, your Dr. Barbaro may schedule a series of visits for care.
