What to Expect at Boonville Chiropractic
Each of your visits at our office will be tailored to suit your needs and your body’s injuries. We warmly welcome you to start!
The First Visit
We’ll ask you to fill out some paperwork when you first arrive. Then you’ll be escorted back to a private room. Your chiropractor will come in and introduce himself. Next, a consultation including your health history will be performed to find out what’s going on. This consultation is followed by an extremely thorough examination, including:
- Physical tests
- Orthopedic and neurological tests
- Range of motion testing
- Reflex testing
- X-rays, if determined to be necessary
We’ll discuss your life with you to create a picture of what you do and what may be contributing to your problems. Your chiropractor will discuss his diagnosis based on the examination findings. We’re able to start your treatment right away with your first chiropractic adjustment.
Your first visit will take about 50 minutes in total.
The Second Visit
On your next visit, your chiropractor will discuss your X-rays, if taken on the previous visit. We’ll discuss how you did with your first chiropractic adjustment. Then we’ll recommend a treatment plan and make sure we’re on the same page with what works for you. Your second visit will take about 25 minutes.
Regular Visits
You’ll schedule your appointments out a week at a time according to your care plan. A routine adjustment and any needed therapies will take 20-30 minutes each time, from start to finish.
The Importance of Check-ups
To help you manage your problems, we recommend that you see us for checks twice per year, just like going to the dentist for regular visits. You could always replace your teeth, but you can’t ever get a new neck or back, so it’s important to maintain spinal health! It’s easier to continue being healthy than to have to start over entirely, so we’ll get you to a point where we don’t need to see you often. You’ll be able to help your progress with home stretches and exercises we’ll recommend for you.
We want to empower you to take control of your health. Call (812) 897-8000 today to schedule your time.
