Your First Visit
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 30 and 60 minutes. Before your visit, you will have a consultation with one of our chiropractic assistants who will ask questions so that Dr. Groves can better understand your health history and condition. When you arrive, you will also need to bring a photo ID and insurance card. There will be a few papers to sign.
Next, you will have an examination. The examination is very thorough and specific to your particular needs. X-rays might be ordered 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.
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 its 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!
