What Can I Expect During My First Visit to Clermont Chiropractic Life Center?

You can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor. We have four doctors in the office, so be sure to tell the staff if you've been referred to one doctor specifically. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also for the Chiropractor to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In most cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. At CCLC, we have digital xray systems in order to decrease patient exposure and get the most clear pictures possible. We believe "to see" is "to know", and "to not see" is "to guess". We'd rather not guess about your spine! Your doctor will go over the results of the exam with you. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may give you an emergency adjustment and/or begin physical therapy, if needed. On a normal basis, we will do anything we can to help you feel better during your first day, but the doctors need time to review your x-rays before adjustments, so you may be asked to return to the office during the following shift or the next day, as soon as possible. Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, your doctor may schedule a series of visits for care.
