Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms prior to your scheduled appointment time. If you would like to, you can download the forms, here. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Gerard C. Hinley, D.C., or one of our other medical professionals to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed so that our doctor is able to learn more about you and your condition, but also to learn about your expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, our doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well so that our doctors can make a complete evaluation.
X-Ray Studies
X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, our doctor will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, our doctors will provide recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.
Wellness Program
At the end of this visit the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. We will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Since every person is unique, everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
