What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?
On your first visit to Bowers Chiropractic Center we will find out how to best help your condition. To begin with, a health history and new patient exam form will be filled out. This can be done ahead of time by printing the forms from this website and filling them out before coming to our office. You will then consult with Dr. Bowers. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to your condition. It is also for Dr. Bowers to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A spinal exam will be performed which will include orthopedic testing, spinal balance assessment and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays can be done at Bowers Chiropractic Center on the first visit. Dr. Bowers will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you on the next visit. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may give you an adjustment , 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, Dr. Bowers may schedule a series of visits for care.
