Your first visit includes a consultation, exam, clinical assessment, and adjustment with a licensed doctor of chiropractic. During this visit, your chiropractor will review your health history, talk with you about your lifestyle and care goals, and evaluate how your body moves. This may include a posture assessment, gait assessment, hands-on exam, range of motion review, and other movement-based checks to better understand areas of pain, restriction, or imbalance.

Based on their findings, your chiropractor will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs and explain what to expect from your care.

Others are managing old injuries, muscle tension from long workdays, or simply want to feel and function better every day.
