What Can I Expect During My First Visit to a Chiropractor?

You can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the Dr. Johansen. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also the time for Dr. Johansen to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis.

A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. X-rays will be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. X-rays are done at the our office. Dr. Johansen will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may give you an adjustment and/or begin physical therapy, if needed.

Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, Dr. Johansen may schedule a series of visits for care.
