How To Prepare, What To Bring When You Arrive:
Bring Your Medical Records
Bring any relevant medical records or imaging related to your condition, along with a list of doctors you have seen for treatment.
Complete the New Patient Form
Fill out the New Patient Form before your visit and include it with your other documents. Our front desk will provide all necessary forms to help you get started.
Have Questions? Bring Them Along!
Write down any questions you have before your visit. We encourage you to bring a family member, or loved one to help take notes and ensure all your concerns are addressed.
What to Expect During Your Exam
Your examination can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, though it may take longer depending on your needs. Be sure to eat a meal at least two hours before your appointment. This allows your body time to process the food, ensuring your brain has the proper fuel for accurate testing and optimal performance.
Reviewing Your Results & Next Steps
After your examination, the doctor will carefully review your results and medical history. During your follow-up visit, we’ll go over the findings in detail and discuss the best path forward. If your case is accepted, we’ll schedule your first treatment and begin your journey toward lasting relief.
Your First Treatment Session
Your first treatment session will typically be longer, as it focuses on specific procedures rather than a set time. Each treatment is highly personalized, based on your exam findings, the severity of your condition, and how your symptoms are neurologically traced back to their root cause.
It’s normal to feel tired or want to rest after a session- your body needs time to heal. Avoid pushing yourself to be active and instead allow time for recovery. If your condition is severe or you are traveling from out of state, consider bringing a family member or friend for support, daily assistance, or transportation.
For out-of-state patients or those with complex conditions, an extended initial visit may be recommended to allow for a more thorough series of corrections.
