Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  If you haven't already done so on line, we will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

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

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Jeffers will perform a chiropractic examination along with other appropriate neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests as indicated by your complaint. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

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 to  any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Jeffers will give you a  report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Jeffers will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.  We will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs. If for any reason Dr. Jeffers believes that you are not a good candidate for chiropractic care, she will refer you to the appropriate provider for the treatment you need.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments and/or physical therapy modalities (such as, electric muscle stimulation, ultrasound or traction). Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns and preferences about the different styles of treatment  at anytime. For a complete list of therapies available, go to SERVICES AND TECHNIQUES.

Wellness Program

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.
