Taking the mystery out of your first step toward better health
If you’ve never seen a chiropractor before, it’s normal to feel a little uncertain. What happens during the first visit? Will there be an adjustment right away? At Rise Chiropractic & Wellness, we want you to feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect:
Step 1: Warm Welcome & Paperwork
From the moment you walk into our clinic, we aim to create a calm and welcoming environment. You’ll be greeted by our friendly staff and asked to complete a few intake forms to better understand your health history and current concerns.
Step 2: One-on-One Consultation
You’ll meet with your chiropractor to discuss:
- Your pain, discomfort, or goals
- Lifestyle habits, posture, and activity levels
- Any previous injuries, conditions, or health concerns
This is your time to ask questions and share how you’re feeling — we’re here to listen.
Step 3: Full Examination
This includes:
- Postural assessment
- Orthopedic & neurological tests
- Range of motion and flexibility checks
- Palpation (gentle spinal examination)
If necessary, we may refer you for imaging (X-rays or MRIs) to get a complete view of your spinal health.
Step 4: Report of Findings (Second Visit)
On your next visit, your chiropractor will:
- Explain your test and imaging results
- Show you how your spine and nervous system are functioning
- Recommend a personalized care plan, tailored to your needs
Step 5: Your First Adjustment
Once a clear care plan is established, you may receive your first chiropractic adjustment. These are:
- Safe and gentle
- Tailored to your comfort level
- Designed to improve nervous system communication
Step 6: Ongoing Care + Progress Exams
We’ll guide you through your wellness journey with:
- Regular adjustments
- Home care advice
- Lifestyle and posture recommendations
- Re-evaluations to measure progress
