New Patient Center
Welcome to FBG Chiropractic and Wellness! We are so glad you've come to us for your health and wellness needs. An examination is the first step towards diagnosis and healing. Our whole-body approach towards healing focuses not only on the health of the spine, but of the complete system. Let's get you on the path of natural healing!
Your First Chiropractic Visit
During the initial chiropractic visit, Dr. Joe Palmer, D.C. will look at your current and past medical history. He will perform an initial exam to assess the body and customize a treatment plan if needed. This appointment typical lasts about 30 minutes and can include your first chiropractic adjustment, if appropriate. Please complete the New Patient Package and bring it with you, or arrive 15 minutes early to fill it out at the office.
During the consultation Dr. Joe Palmer will discuss your health issues and what possible treatment options he recommends. Once all your concerns or questions are answered we can begin the examination.
During the examination we will take a complete history, perform pertinent orthopedic, postural, neurological, and functional tests. The doctor will examine the areas of concern, observe ranges of motion, test muscle strength and integrity, and check reflexes. We may recommend x-rays or other diagnostic imaging if needed. These may be performed in order to rule out possible fractures, tumors, ligament/muscle injuries, and also to determine the severity of spinal misalignments or degeneration.
After your examination is completed, the doctor will offer your treatment plan options. These are only recommendations and it is up to you to decide what treatment will be given. If you chose, we may be able to begin your chiropractic care on the first visit.
