Your First Visit: What to Expect

Welcome to Mission Chiropractic, your first step to recovery! We're excited to partner with you on your journey to better health. Your first visit is all about us getting to know you, understanding your health history, and creating a personalized care plan. Here's a step-by-step guide to what you can expect.

Step 1: The Paperwork & Welcome

When you arrive, our friendly staff will greet you and provide you with some new patient forms to complete. This paperwork helps us gather important information about your health history, any pain or symptoms you are experiencing, and your health goals.

Step 2: The Consultation & Comprehensive Exam

You'll meet with the doctor for a one-on-one consultation. This is your time to talk freely and openly about your health concerns. We want to know:

* What brings you in today?

* How long have you been experiencing this?

* What are your goals for your health and wellness?

Please bring any lab work or medical records that you might find useful for the doctor to go over. Following the consultation, we'll perform a detailed physical examination. This may include:

* Chiropractic Exam: A thorough assessment of your spine and joints to identify areas of misalignment or restricted movement.

* Orthopedic and Neurological Tests: We'll check your reflexes, muscle strength, and range of motion to get a clear picture of your condition.

If necessary, we may refer you for X-rays to get a more precise view of your spine and rule out more serious conditions.

Step 3: The Doctor's Report of Findings

After your exam, the doctor will sit down with you to discuss the findings. We'll show you exactly what we found, explain the root cause of your symptoms, and answer all of your questions. We believe in empowering you with knowledge about your own body.

This is when we'll present our recommended care plan. This plan is completely customized for you and your unique needs. We may also refer you for Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, or Massage Therapy services to assist in the recovery process.

Step 4: Your First Treatment

If you're ready to proceed, we'll begin your first treatment. Depending on your needs and your personalized care plan, this may include one or more of the following:

* Chiropractic Adjustment: The doctor will use gentle, precise pressure to adjust specific joints in your spine. This helps to restore proper movement, reduce nerve irritation, and promote your body's natural healing abilities. Many patients experience a sense of relief and improved mobility almost immediately.

* Acupuncture or Chinese Medicine: Our licensed acupuncturist will discuss your health concerns and design a treatment plan using traditional Chinese medicine principles. This may involve the placement of very thin, sterile needles at specific points on your body to stimulate energy flow and promote balance. It's a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.

* Massage Therapy: Our skilled massage therapists use a variety of techniques to release muscle tension, reduce stress, and improve circulation. Massage can be a powerful tool to complement your chiropractic care by preparing your muscles for an adjustment and helping you hold your adjustments for longer.

Step 5: Your Follow-Up Visits

Follow-up appointments are typically shorter and more focused. We will continue your care plan and monitor your progress. We'll make any necessary adjustments to your treatment as your body heals.

Our team is dedicated to guiding you every step of the way, and we'll always be here to answer your questions and celebrate your progress. We look forward to seeing you
