We strive to make your first visit to our office a comfortable experience. Our Office Coordinator will welcome you and ask you to complete our required forms. These forms will give us important information about you and your condition. The doctor will spend time with you asking specific questions about your condition. Our goal is to find out why and where the source of your discomfort is and can care here, at Northwood Chiropractic & Wellness, help you. If chiropractic care is not the answer we can help refer you to another specialist who may. As always, nothing will be done without your consent.
After discussing your condition, the doctor will give you a thorough chiropractic examination, such as testing your ability to turn and bend, testing your reflexes, and other standard postural, neurological, orthopedic, and physical examinations. This important information will allow the doctor to have a better understanding of your condition and how chiropractic can help you. If needed, the doctor may take x-rays or refer you for other specialized testing.
After all the information including the consultation, exams, forms, and x-rays (if needed) are complete. A follow up appointment will be scheduled where the doctor will give you a report of findings, your diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
Most patients will have a feeling of relief from their very first adjustment! However, to achieve total change it takes time and consistent effort from both the patient and the doctor. Our office participates in many different insurance programs; we also work with auto insurance and workers compensation cases. For patients with no insurance coverage a flexible payment plan can be arranged.
