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. Our mission is to identify that you are uniquely created and we would like to serve you in the highest form possible. Our goal is to find out where the source of your chief complaint is and determine if Chiropractic Care can help you. The doctor will take you through a thorough examination and ask specific questions about your condition to determine if chiropractic care is right for 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 advanced 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. Again, our focus at Northwood Chiropractic & Wellness is to locate the source of your pain and determine if Chiropractic Care is the right course of treatment. Many times taking X-Ray images is the last piece that puts the whole puzzle together.
After all the information including exams, forms, and x-rays (if needed) are complete and reviewed. A second visit will be schedule where the doctor will give you a report of findings and explain the treatment that is right for you. Our goal is to successfully identify the problem and where the root cause is. We will also review what's normal and how your body should function which is unrestricted and pain free. Remember pain, neck pain, back pain, sciatic nerve pain, headaches is not normal and should never be treated as something small. These are conditions that directly affect your health. During your review of findings the doctor will go through how to address your chief complaint, a course of treatment and set goals to help bring relief and joy to get you back to doing what you love doing most.
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. We offer no obligation consultations and can help you directly with insurance forms. For patients with no insurance coverage or who would like to pay in cash, we offer competitive cash prices and care plans. We believe health is a proactive and life long journey. We are here to walk side by side with you on your health journey and are well connected with others who can assist you on your way out of pain and onto a path of true health and wellness.
We look forward to serving you.
