Your First Visit to Watts Chiropractic
As a new patient at Watts Chiropractic Clinic, we will try to make your first visit as comfortable as possible. Please allow about 45 minutes for this visit.
Here is what you can expect during that visit:
- First you will fill out a history questionnaire explaining previous injuries and present injuries or problems you may be experiencing. Please also express what makes the condition better and what makes it worse.
- Next you will move into the Doctors office for an exam and consultation. At this point the doctor will run test and ask questions to determine if this is a Chiropractic Condition.
- A full Neurological and Orthopedic exam will be performed. You will not have to remove any clothing for this exam.
- From this point you will proceed to have x-rays to determine the exact location of your problem and give the doctor the information he needs to correct it. After X-rays are taken the Doctor needs time to evaluate the films
so that proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations can be made.
