What you need to know about your treatment at Chiro-Health

After your initial appointment and new patient examination, your doctor will put together a treatment plan that is personalize for your condition. As you move forward with treatments at Chiro-Health, your doctor will use the plan as a road map for your health and wellness.

Second Appointment, Report of Findings

The Second Appointment: Report Of Findings

The doctor will evaluate the examination information carefully and accurately assess your treatment needs. He or she will explain your evaluation and plan for treatment. Immediate needs as well as long term goals will be discussed and a plan to return your spine to its healthiest level will be created.


Subsequent Visits

Expect your treatment to change through the healing process. Each visit is 30 minutes of gentle and comfortable hands-on treatment. At the end of the first month of treatment a re-examination will be performed and a new treatment plan will be created.

Wellness and Elective Care

Just like getting your teeth cleaned and eating wholesome foods are important aspects of maintaining overall health and wellness, so too does it make sense to return for period maintenance chiropractic check-ups.

At Chiro-Health, we believe that wellness care is always recommended, but should never be imposed. This type of care saves time and money by keeping minor problems from becoming more serious while also keeping you at your best level of function and health. Most of our patients choose this type of care.
