New Patients at Hands On Health Family Chiropractic
Your first visits at Hands On Health Family Chiropractic are about understanding what’s going on and building a plan that fits you. No two patients or complaints are exactly alike, so your care begins with an individual assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
An Assessment First, Then a Plan Built for You
At your first visit, one of our chiropractors will perform an assessment and learn more about what brought you in. X-rays may be recommended when clinically appropriate. Your second visit is when your chiropractor reviews the findings with you, discusses what may be contributing to your complaint, and explains the recommended plan of care.
Whether You’re Hurting or Want to Maintain How You Move
Many new patients come in with concerns such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, arm weakness, or tingling in the fingers or toes. Others aren’t experiencing pain but have physically demanding routines, from long days at a desk to regular training or manual work.
You don’t have to wait for pain to make an appointment. An assessment can also be an opportunity to talk about mobility, ergonomics, and the physical demands of your day-to-day life.
How Your Care May Change Over Time
Your recommended visit frequency depends on your findings, complaint, and individual plan. For some patients with a recent injury, that may mean two or three visits a week initially. As things change, visits may become less frequent based on your progress and what continues to be appropriate for you.
Your plan may also include things to work on between appointments. Depending on your needs, these recommendations might involve stretching, strengthening, lifestyle changes, or nutrition guidance. What you’re asked to do at home can change as you progress. Early recommendations may focus more on mobility or stretching, with strengthening introduced later when appropriate.
As symptoms settle, the focus may shift toward strengthening, mobility, and strategies intended to help you manage the activities that contributed to the problem in the first place.
