Never been to a chiropractor? Here’s what to expect
Most likely, you have family members or friends who suggest you try chiropractic care; or maybe you just have interest to know more about it and want to give it a try.
But before giving it a try, you may be looking for some basic information about chiropractic treatment.
Few people realize that chiropractic care is an ideal way to help relax your body and ease muscle tension. When your body is in balance, you are far better to cope with day to day stresses.
Benefit of Chiropractic Treatment
If you often find yourself slouching over your keyboard at work or over your table during dinner, you may find you have bad posture. Certainly, posture has a lot to do with your overall body alignment. It is not just correctly positioning your shoulders. How you stand up and carry yourself plays a big role in your body functions. Chiropractors work to locate where your spine is not aligning properly.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
If you have never been to a chiropractic clinic before, you probably have a lot of questions. Let us tell you what will most likely happen on your very first visit to a clinic.
Depending on the severity of the underlying condition, the first objective is to have a treatment plan. This plan is specific to your needs and you can use it to continue at home to reduce pain.
Consultation
During the initial discussion, you are going to sit down with the doctor and you will have the chance to tell him about your pain. You should also describe what you have already done to help ease the pain.
Physical Examination
Beyond Wellness Chiropractic Center will evaluate your condition before going through a series of treatments.
Do I need X-rays?
Not all conditions need an x-ray. The need for an x-ray will be established on a case-to-case basis, and the purpose of x-ray will be explained to you before it is performed.
By the end of the first visit, you will schedule a report of findings visit. The doctor will explain your condition and how chiropractic care can help. The doctor will explain the treatment and finances at this time.
