What to Expect
At Sendroff Chiropractic Center, it is all about the patient’s wellbeing. We strive to make sure you are comfortable and well taken care of. When you enter, our friendly staff will greet you and welcome you just as if you were a member of the family. We will need you to fill out our patient forms. This will provide us with general information about yourself and your condition.
Consult
Next you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will meet your goals.
Exam
After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Rays
Your specific condition may require us to send you to the facility of your choice for x-rays so that we can make a full evaluation. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine, and reviewing any x-rays or tests, the doctor will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will let you know and recommend another practitioner that they trust. If the doctor believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.
Adjustments
Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, extremity adjustments, or muscle therapy. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.
Homework
Prior to leaving, patients may be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success. Everyone is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan. The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, keeping your weight under control, and stress relief.
