We hear the questions all the time: Will it hurt? What do you do when you’re there?

For a lot of people, it’s intimidating to go to any doctor’s office to receive any kind of care, much less something that seems as specialized as chiropractic care. If you’re looking to make an investment in your health and well-being, we figured that it would help to know what you can expect when you visit.

The following is some of what you can expect during your first visit to Laprise Chiropractic:

• Patient Forms – When you first walk in the door, we have you fill out forms that provide us with your health history and some background information on your condition.
• Consultation – Next, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Ron to discuss your health concerns and treatment options. This allows us to learn a little more about you and your condition as well as identify how chiropractic care can help you meet your wellness goals.
• Examination – At this point, we’ll see where you’re at and see if we can identify any issues or red flags through careful examination. We offer you a variety of tests and examination ranging from neurological & orthopedic procedures to physical & postural tests. Nothing is done without your consent.
• Report of Findings – Once you’ve been examined, we sit down and answer three essential questions: How/if chiropractic can help you meet your goal, how often you need to come in and what the cost of your treatment would be. Our goal is to help establish the best wellness program possible to fit your needs.
• Continuing Wellness – Our wellness team is here to help you reach your health and wellness goals. Before you leave the office, we’ll offer you a variety of programs that can help you help yourself outside of the office. The goal of any good wellness program is to help you achieve strong spinal alignment, experience a healthy diet and maintain a positive mental state. Not only can we help alleviate your pain, but we give you the tools to help keep that pain from coming back.

  Every follow-up visit includes a check-in/update period to see how you’ve responded to your treatment and see if there are any new findings. We’ll give you suggestions of exercises and lifestyle change you can consider making to optimize your treatments here. In the end, you’re ultimately the one who can make the decision to move forward with any treatment plan we collectively come up with. We view your care as a team effort, with you being them most important player!
