Welcome!
Upon entering our office, our front desk staff will welcome you and ask you to fill out a few forms. If you would like to use your health insurance, please bring your insurance card.
History and Examination
Dr. Jocelyn Hallen or Dr. Melissa Shera will review your forms and discuss your chief complaint and health history. They will then perform a chiropractic examination that will involve some simple range of motion and pressure tests that are meant to locate the source of discomfort.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
You may be wondering:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Jocelyn Hallen will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Jocelyn Hallen will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.
