What to expect during your first visit
We are not a "crack-em and let them go" chiropractor
During your first appointment at Conrad Spine and Sport we will need to do a detailed history. Before your appointment we will email you your intake paperwork to save you some time. After the initial history, we will do some tests to see if you are able to be adjusted. If it is determined that x-rays are required before treatment, we will let you know then, and set a time for you to come back and complete your initial exam (typically within 48 hours if you go and get your x-rays). If determined x-rays are not needed at this time, then we will continue with the treatment.
Treatment at Conrad Spine and Sport includes:
- Muscle work
- Flexion/Distraction (coming soon)
- Adjustment
- Percussion treatment (with Theragun)
- Extra treatment determined by the patient in an area of concern for them
A treatment plan will be created for you and only you. We create plans for the individual, and do not use a cookie cutter plan for every patient. One other thing we can promise is we will not require you to come in 3 times a week. The most that we will recommend is 2 times a week for the first two weeks only. This is ONLY for the "hot low back" patients that would benefit from the additional visit. Most plans will recommend a weekly visit and will have "work" for the patient to do outside of the appointment (exercises and stretches to get you the patient engaged in your treatment).
What we are is not an adjust and go on your way chiropractor. We want to make sure that you are doing what you need to do to get better and be able to move freely with less pain.
A typical first visit will take roughly 45-50 minutes.
Subsequent visits will be 20-30 minutes depending on the treatments performed.
Our goal is to get you feeling and moving your best! Remember Movement leads to happiness.
