Plan to spend about an hour to an hour  on your first visit. On your first visit to the office, you will meet with the doctor right away in our comfortable exam room.

(Remember to print and complete the New Patient Form to save time.)

Next, you will have a complete exam, which includes special tests. These tests help determine where your problem areas might be and how the doctor will address them. The tests include: static palpation, which is simply feeling the bones in your spine for tenderness, swelling and other abnormalities; motion palpation, which is simply bending your spine to look for signs of fixation; instrumentation, which involves running a Nervo-scope down your spine to locate areas of swelling. The nervoscope feels like two fingers gliding down your spine. It detects heat, which is an indication of swelling. These tests, in addition to others, help the doctor determine if yours is a chiropractic case…if they can help you.

(Ladies, we have thick, long gowns that only open wide enough to examine your spine. The exam is a time to relax and let the doctor do the work.)
