Upon entering our office, Jane, Sasha, or Michelle will welcome you as a member of our family.   We will request that you complete our  patient forms if you haven't already.   Those forms are located under the "Patient Forms" heading here on the website.  You are able to print those forms, fill them out, and bring them to your first appointment.  If you do not have the ability to do this, or if you prefer to fill them forms out in the office, they are available at the front desk.  This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

 

 

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Matthew Jessee to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options.  This initial visit is designed for Dr. Jessee to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

 

 

After your consultation, Dr. Jessee will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility.  Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well.  However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

 

 

Depending on your specific condition, we may take x-rays as well.  X-rays help us develop  the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of  any serious spinal conditions. 

 

 

 

 

 

On your second visit, Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Jessee will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

 

 

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Jessee will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Jessee will  provide the best  treatment and wellness program for your needs.

 

 

 At the conclusion of this second appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment.  This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or hydrotherapy.   Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.

 

This concludes your second visit.  This visit takes approximately 30 - 45 minutes.  Each subsequent visit will take approximately 30 minutes, depending on what treatment that is administered. 

 

 

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a  wellness program  to incorporate outside of treatment.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire,  our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan.  The purpose  of our wellness program is for you  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
