Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request you fill our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.


Consultation

Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Michael Gaffin to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for the doctors to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals.


Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Gaffin  will perform a complete chiropractic examination which will include testing your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurologic, orthopedic, and postural examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.


Imaging Studies

Your specific condition may require an X-ray, Cat Scan, or M.R.I. to to get a full evaluation of your condition. Imaging studies help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.  We will only prescribe imaging studies if we feel they are absolutely necessary.


Report of Findings

Once all the information and examinations have been performed, either Dr. Gaffin will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions: 

  1. Can you help me?
  2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
  3. How much is it going to cost?

After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any imaging studies or tests, the doctor will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If  Dr. Gaffin  believe he can help you, he will recommend a specific treatment program for your specific condition.


Treatment

Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of their first appointment. This may include specific spinal adjustments, therapy modalities, and/or soft tissue therapies.  Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.


Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success.  Every body is unique and different and therefore everone requires a unique and customized wellness plan.  The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining  healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief.
