First Visit AT Stine Chiropractic

Online Paperwork
Before arriving for your first visit we recommend completing your paperwork online. This will make you first visit much more seamless and enjoyable! We make sure to send you your paperwork ahead of time once you make your appointment. This paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

History and Examination
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will meet with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, an examination utilizing orthopedic tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.

X-ray Studies 
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. X-ray studies are generally rare and only conducted if there is suspision of any red flags.

Same Day Treatment
Once finished with the history, examination and all appropriate studies, patients will generally be provided with their first treatment during this same visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.

Home Instructions
Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.
