What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a PT Chiropractic? The first step is calling for an appointment. We know that is a big step. At that time, feel free to ask our staff any questions you may have regarding insurance, treatment costs and procedures. If your questions are more specific to treatment protocols, Dr. Calah will gladly return your call as soon as possible. First appointments usually take 45 minutes to 1 hour. Arriving fifteen minutes early is recommended as there are several information sheets to be completed prior to your consultation. No one enjoys filling out forms, but please keep in mind that these take a few minutes and provide important information pertaining to your condition. 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. We will then conduct a complete history, neurological, orthopedic and physical exam to assess your condition and its prognosis with chiropractic care. If required, the need for X-rays will be explained and they will be ordered at that time. Dr. Calah will always discuss with you exam findings, recommendations, treatment plan and any further questions you may have. Frequency of care is based on individual schedule, nature and severity of injury or health concern and treatment protocols. Each case is assessed on an individual basis and care is focused on an expeditious and long-lasting recovery. |
