New Patients at Powell Chiropractic Clinic, Inc.
Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before. We’ve found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises!
New patients often remark how “homey” our office is and how welcome they feel. That’s good, because as your chiropractor it is our goal to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care in a comfortable surrounding. So, make yourself at home!
You’ll find plenty of convenient parking and a well-lit parking lot. You’ll be greeted by name when you enter our office and given a short tour to get you acquainted with our facilities. If you have already completed your admitting paperwork, great! If not, after doing so we’ll likely show you a short 5-minute video and then you’ll meet one of our outstanding doctors.
The purpose of your initial consultation is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem. Please plan on being at our office for 1 hr 15 minutes for your first appointment.
Your second visit is called the Report of Findings visit. During this visit we will explain what we found and how we are able to help you. We will provide you with a specific plan of care and you will receive your first adjustment. This two visit approach accomplishes several things:
- Reduces the length of your first visit
- Gives us time to correlate findings from the examination and develop a care plan specific to your needs
- Avoids overloading you with too much information
In certain circumstances we make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.
Follow Up Visits
After the investment of the time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length. But that isn’t usually the case. A typical visit may require just a few highly-focused minutes. Don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the ground-work already laid in the first two visits, you will receive your follow-up treatments effectively and efficiently.
Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and we can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.
We recognize your time is valuable. We do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.
