Embark on Your Wellness Journey:
Your Initial Visits Unveiled - Connecting Through Your Story and Navigating a Comprehensive Examination
Your First Initial Visit
Your first initial visit to our Scottsdale chiropractic offices is all about getting to know you and your story. We’ll spend some time going over the online intake questionnaire that you filled out after making the new patient appointment. The answers you provide in the questionnaire help guide the conversation and also help me understand the factors that lead you to your current state. Then, we will do a thorough exam to gather more information. You will not need to wear anything special for this appointment, and you will remain in your clothes, as we do not require gowning for the exam. We will be doing sensory testing, so we only have you remove your socks and shoes. Heads up if you care about nail polish, etc!
We will order labs and/or imaging if necessary. These services are off-site, as we use a local lab and imaging center, so you’ll need to make separate appointments for those - don’t worry, we’ll give you all the info you need! Then, we will schedule the second visit after the results come back. You are welcome to bring a friend or loved one to the new patient visit appointment, but be advised that we discuss quite personal information, so be thoughtful of who you bring to avoid any potential discomfort. That sums up what to expect at the first visit, but if you have any questions that weren’t addressed, please reach out, I am happy to answer any questions you may have before the appointment.
Your Second Initial Visit
Your second initial visit to our office is all about results. We’ll discuss your lab results (example on your left) and any imaging that we may have ordered (not all cases require imaging). We will discuss which labs were out of range, and how this may be impacting you.
We’ll discuss how Functional Medicine and Chiropractic can help you in your wellness journey and make a plan.
We go over quite a bit of information, so oftentimes it can be very helpful to bring a loved one with you. Bringing someone close can help them to understand the depth of your concerns, and how they can help support you on your journey to health.
If we both feel that our process is the right fit for you, we’ll sign the paperwork and get you on the table for your first adjustment (cue the smiles).
