New Patients at Healing Chiropractic
If you’re visiting our Vancouver chiropractic care center for the first time, we’d like you to know exactly what to expect. It’s our mission to make your time with us a comfortable and confidence-inspiring experience.
Your First Visit
Your first appointment will take about one hour. As you enter the practice, you’ll be warmly greeted and invited to complete your new patient paperwork. You’ll then meet with Dr. Thomas, who will conduct an in-depth assessment, including:
- A consultation
- An orthopedic and neurological evaluation
- X-rays, if necessary (we’ll refer you to a convenient local facility)
- Report of Findings
- Adjustment
During this first appointment, we’ll ask you to change into a gown or exam shorts. Dr. Thomas is very thorough. She’ll be checking the symmetry of your spine, as well as looking for any possible skin abnormalities. Dr. Thomas will perform a detailed history and examination and discuss her findings with you. Her goal is to help you understand the source of your concerns and then customize your care plan in order to help you feel your best. If Dr. Thomas determines that chiropractic care can help you and no further evaluation is needed, your visit will conclude with a Report of Findings followed by your first chiropractic adjustment and a review of any recommended supplements, exercises or activity modifications.
Your Second Visit
Dr. Thomas will consult with you on how you felt after your initial visit and answer any questions you may have. Then you will receive your second adjustment. This visit will be approximately 10-20 minutes.
Subsequent Visits
Ongoing appointments average about 10-20 minutes in length, depending on your condition. Consistent adjustments are initially essential to help your body heal rapidly.
