What Can I Expect During My First Visit to Chiropractic Family Practice?

Although each condition may be different requiring a different process , generally you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations. We also wish to get answers to any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also the time where Dr. Stockstad express his potential role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays can usually be done at the doctor' s office. Dr. Stockstad will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may give you an adjustment and/or begin physilogical theraputics, if needed. Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, your may be scheduled for a series of visits for care.
