Upon entering Apex Chiropractic our Office Manager will greet you and welcome you as a part of our family. We will request you fill out our New Patient Forms. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and any health concerns you may have.

Day 1: Consultation

Next you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for our doctor to learn more about you, your conditions, and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care meets your goals.

Day 1: Examination

After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.

Day 1: X-Ray Studies

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation of a patient. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.  Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Day 2: Report of Findings

Your second day in the clinic, the Doctors request that your "Partner in Health," your significant other, accompany you to review what the Doctor has found from your first visit consultation, examination, and x-rays, if taken. The Report of Findings answer the three most popular questions: 

1. Can you help me?
2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
3. How much is it going to cost?

After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine, and reviewing any x-rays or tests, the Doctor will discuss recommendations with you and your partner in health. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the Doctor will tell you. If the Doctor believes he and his staff can help you, he will recommend treatment and a wellness program.

Day 2: Treatment

Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, rehabilitation therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.

Day 2 & 3: Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, patients will be recommended a plan for care with the Doctor and Rehab Specialists and also instructed on a wellness program.

If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. 

If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success. Every body is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan.
