Your First and Second Visits
Many patients would like to know what happens during the first visit to a chiropractic office. While there is no general rule, this page should help you to understand the basic outline of a visit as well as lead you to more information about what goes on in this particular clinic. If time is a factor, you should know that the first visit will usually take between 60 to 90 minutes. During your first visit to the clinic, you will be supplied with important health forms to fill out so that Dr. Groves can better understand your health history and condition. You will also need to bring a photo ID and insurance card.
Next, you will have a consultation and examination. The examination is very thorough and specific to your particular needs. X-rays are performed in-house if they are necessary. This is to make sure you are adjusted accurately and safely. The treatment that will be given on the first day will be dependent on the situation, so you may or may not be adjusted. Some conditions warrant treatment with passive physiotherapies such as ice, electrical stimulation, or therapeutic ultrasound.
On your second visit, a report of your examination and x-ray findings will be given. Recommendations of care will be provided as well as other home exercises if they would be beneficial.
Your insurance coverage and financial details will be discussed so that you always know what to expect, and there are never any surprises. Groves Family Chiropractic participates with ChiroHealthUSA which offers discounted rates for non-covered services to it's members. If you're afraid that your insurance does not offer the coverage you need for chiropractic care here, you may be interested in the huge savings that you can get by joining. Remember--you may ask any questions at any time!
