Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We suggest you download our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center section of this website and have them filled out prior to your arrival.  If you have not done this, please arrive 10 minutes early.   This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your health status and current health concerns.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr.. Tim Wood to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Tim Wood to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Tim Wood will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your alignment, flexibility, range of motion, and soft tissue patterns. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as needed. However, nothing  will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop  the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of  any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Tim Wood will set up a doctor's report visit to give you a detailed report of all findings, show you your X-rays, and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my care  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Tim Wood will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Tim Wood  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.

Care Programs

 At the conclusion of this report appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. This will include spinal adjustments with specific corrective exercises to follow once flexibility improves.  See the "about us" tab above for detailed descriptions.

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a  wellness program  to incorporate outside of treatment.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire,  our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan.  The purpose  of our wellness program is for   you  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
