## Your First Visit: Comprehensive & Thorough

Our initial **appointments** are designed to gather a complete understanding of your health history and current concerns, setting the foundation for effective treatment in Lansing, MI.

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.

Please plan for 60 to 90 minutes to ensure a comprehensive and unhurried assessment.

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.

#### 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.
