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

A Good Experience!

First you will fill out our simple paper work. If you would like to down load these forms right off your computer you can save yourself some time and fill out the forms before you come. This is sometimes helpful for you and the Doctor because you can not feel rushed and not miss any important information that may help the Doctor.

Consultation

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 the Chiropractor to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis

Examination

A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, neurological testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic/Spinal evaluation.

X-Ray

In some cases x-rays are very important and may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays are done at our office. Dr. Sambursky will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you.

Report Of Findings

This is very important. This is where Dr. Sambursky will explain to the patient what his diagnosis is, what treatment is necessary and what he expects of the patient.

Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may give you an adjustment and/or begin physical therapy, if needed. Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, your Chiropractor may schedule a series of visits for care.
