Your first visit is dedicated entirely to you. Your provider will conduct a full history review, neurological, orthopedic, and physical exam to understand your unique health picture.

During your second visit, your provider will review all findings, including any diagnostics. You will receive a clear, personalized, integrated treatment plan tailored to your specific goals for long-term health and wellness.

Chiropractic New Patient Pathway

#### Initial Focus & Exam

Your first visit is comprehensive. While a gentle adjustment may be performed for acute pain, comprehensive care begins after your report of findings on your second chiropractic visit.

#### The Treatment Plan

Treatment typically involves three phases: a corrective phase (frequent visits), a stabilization phase, and a long-term wellness phase, customized to help your body hold its structural correction.
