What To Expect

We know many new patients are not sure what to expect during their first appointment with a chiropractor. You can also review our Your First Visit page for a more detailed overview of your initial appointment.

At Elite Chiropractic, your first visit begins with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, activities, previous injuries, concerns, and goals. This helps us understand your individual situation and how your symptoms may be affecting your daily life.

Next, we perform an examination based on your needs. This may include evaluation of posture, movement, joint mobility, muscle function, and other appropriate musculoskeletal or neurological findings. X-rays or other imaging may be considered when your history, symptoms, examination findings, or injury indicate that additional evaluation would be useful.

After reviewing the findings, we will discuss what we found, answer your questions, and explain which conservative care options may be appropriate for your individual situation.

Through shared decision-making, you and your doctor can determine a care plan based on your symptoms, findings, activity level, and goals. Depending on your needs, recommendations may include chiropractic care, rehabilitation or mobility exercises, soft-tissue techniques, lifestyle modifications, massage therapy, or nutritional and wellness guidance when appropriate.
