What will happen during my new patient appointment?

Posted On October 16, 2015

There will be the requisite new patient forms and waivers to sign, and we also have several computer kiosks on which to enter more detailed information about your symptoms and what has brought you to our clinic.  During your time with the Doctor of Chiropractic, we do a new patient exam which consists of but is not limited to reviewing your medical history, current symptoms, range of motion, orthopedic, neurological tests, thermal imaging using an infrared scanner, and also evaluating your spinal muscle tone using a static electromyogram (sEMG).  These last two scans are completely noninvasive and will not harm any pregnant or pediatric patients. From there we can determine if you need any modalities, as well as do an adjustment or acupuncture for you.
