Are you new to chiropractic care? You’ve got nothing to fear and much to look forward to! Visiting any treatment professional can be intimidating the first time. Yet when it comes to chiropractic therapy, there’s a reason so many patients recommend it and come back if they ever have another problem. We’ll go over what you can generally expect when visiting the chiropractor’s office for the first time. If you live in or near Houston, TX, and want to set up a chiropractic appointment, Dr. Salman Ali at Ultra Spine Chiropractic looks forward to hearing from you.
Understanding the Patient, Their Preferences, and Their Needs
Visiting a chiropractor’s office is all about you. Specifically, your chiropractor will want to know what your challenges and goals for treatment are. Often, the initial discussions can be rather in-depth. This is because the chiropractor will want to pin down the root causes of your challenges and consider them in the context of your overall health.
A chiropractic examination will also be in order. While chiropractors are sometimes thought of as spine and back doctors, a chiropractic examination will consider more than “just” your spine. A chiropractor may also test your mobility, flexibility, and reflexes. Sometimes pain felt in one area is caused by a problem somewhere else, or one imbalance exists to compensate for another.
Your chiropractor is probably going to ask questions about your medical history and life experiences. Ultimately, what you decide to share is going to be up to you, but keep in mind that the more you share, the more customized your treatment will be. Knowledge is power. That’s certainly the case when it comes to formulating chiropractic treatment.
Diagnostic tests, including X-rays, may also be ordered. If you’re ready to set up a chiropractic appointment in Houston, TX, contact Ultra Spine Chiropractic.
Treatment May Start Right Away
The first treatment may take place during the first appointment. Many chiropractors start by testing what patients are comfortable with. It helps us if you provide feedback and ask questions during this initial treatment session and future therapy sessions, as well.
