What To Expect On Your First Visit
- Our chiropractors will start your first visit at Neck, Back, Arm, Leg and Headache Pain Relief Clinic of Marin by asking you questions to gather information about your present condition and health history. We will also perform a physical examination and any needed imaging or lab tests, like MRI, CT scan, or X-ray. When we gather all this information, it will enable our chiropractor to reach a diagnosis, which will, in turn, help determine whether chiropractic services are the best treatments for your condition.
- Next, the doctor will explain your condition and give you a recommendation for a treatment plan. We will also review any risks and benefits of all procedures. The extent generally determines treatment, timing, or severity of your condition. If you have an underlying condition, chronic pain, or multiple issues or pains, you are simultaneously experiencing. In that case, you will more than likely be required to have ongoing care to relieve your symptoms. This care can range from weekly appointments to monthly sessions, though it depends on what you hope to gain from ongoing care.
- Then, our chiropractor will help you assess your overall health and discuss any goals you have. You may also receive advice on home care and lifestyle modifications, as well as exercise and nutrition instruction.
