Visiting Our Reading Chiropractic Practice
Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important that our relationship can go the distance. We’ve found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises!
Your First Visit
Our new patient forms can be downloaded and completed in the convenience of your own home.
You’ll find plenty of convenient parking and a well-lit parking lot. You’ll be greeted by name when you enter our office and given a short tour to get you acquainted with our facilities.
If you’ve already completed your admitting paperwork, great! Feel free to sit back, relax and enjoy the music.
We Explain Everything First
The purpose of your consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem.
Your Second Visit
On your report visit we explain what we found and how we may be able to help you.
After we study your health history, review any xrays, and correlate our examination findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings.
This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be later the same day or the following day. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:
- Reduces the length of your first visit
- Gives us time to correlate our findings
- Avoids overloading you with too much information
In certain situations, and in the professional judgment of your doctor, we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.
Regular Visits
After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.
Avoid relapse with regular visits.
In a word: no. A typical visit may require just 10 to 15 minutes.
But don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up the condition of your spine and nervous system, adjust you and get you on your way.
Each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and you can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.
We recognize your time is valuable. So we do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.
