What to Expect as a New Patient at Full Life Chiropractic
The Full Life Chiropractic New Patient Process
Day One - Consultation and Examination
Your first appointment is the most thorough evaluation you have likely had from a chiropractor. Dr. Newell takes a detailed health history, then performs a full neurological and orthopedic examination. A spinal sEMG scan is included to assess how your nervous system is functioning. X-rays are taken where indicated.
This visit is about building a complete picture of what is happening in your spine, not rushing to a conclusion. Expect to spend up to an hour at your first appointment.
- Detailed health history and intake
- Full neurological and orthopedic examination
- Spinal sEMG scan
- X-rays where indicated
- No adjustment on day one
Day Two - Your First Adjustment
Day two begins with a brief review of the findings from your first visit. Dr. Newell then performs your first adjustment, using the Blair analysis to deliver a precise, low-force correction specific to your anatomy. There is no cracking or twisting of the neck.
This visit also serves a clinical purpose beyond the adjustment itself. How your body responds and how you move afterward gives Dr. Newell important information for refining your care plan going forward.
Day Three - Report of Findings
Day three is where everything comes together. Dr. Newell walks you through your X-ray findings, explains what is driving your symptoms, and presents a personalized care plan. He covers what to expect, how long care typically takes for your specific case, and all cost and payment options.
No pressure, no packages pushed on you. Just a clear explanation of what is going on and what it will take to correct it.
