Your First Visit

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 located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.


Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Marisa Pancheri to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Marisa Pancheri to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.


Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Marisa Pancheri will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.


Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Marisa Pancheri 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, Dr. Marisa Pancheri will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Marisa Pancheri  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.


Treatment

At the conclusion of your initial  visit, you will experience your first treatment of conservative modalities.  However, your treatment plan will begin on your second visit after the doctor has time to review your current complaint and past history.  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

Prior to leaving, 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.  If you desire,  our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore 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.
