To insure that your visit to our office is a pleasant one, here are the procedures you can expect during your first and second visits. (The first visit should take approximately an hour and 15 minutes, the second visit approximately 40 minutes and the following visits approximately 8-10 minutes.) We fully embrace that you do not live to get adjusted, but get adjusted to live!
First Visit
Paperwork:
Complete
the health history form (and some administrative
paperwork) to help us better get to know you. Also,
this information will help Dr. Mike formulate his
recommendations for your personal care plan. Read
and sign the Terms of Acceptance in appropriate
places.
Consultation:
You
will meet with Dr. Mike to review your health history.
Dr. Mike will determine if yours is a chiropractic
case and explain how you may benefit from chiropractic.
Examination:
This
is a chiropractic examination. We will not probe,
prod or prick you. However we will palpate your
spine, ask you to go through various ranges of motion,
and check your skeletal structure and nerve related
functions.
X-rays:
Necessary
views of your spine may be taken to visualize the
location of spinal problems, reveal any pathology
(disease process), and make your chiropractic care
more precise. By using x-rays, we have a tool to
visualize the problem: we don't want to guess about
your health. (We do not routinely x-ray children.)
Second
Visit
Report
Of Findings:
On your second visit to our office you will first
see a short video (approximately 10 minutes) that
will allow you to better understand your report
of findings.Dr. Mike will then review with you
your report of findings, and your x-rays, and then
outline a care plan that is designed specifically
for YOU! We ask that you bring your spouse or loved
ones along so that they can hear your findings.
Adjustment:
You will be checked for vertebral subluxation and
if subluxations are present, will be given a specific
chiropractic adjustment by Dr. Mike. We will explain
and demonstrate everything 
we do. It is our goal
to become active partners with you in your health
and wellness. We
know there are many places you can go for your health
and wellness care and we thank you
for choosing Tannenbaum Chiropractic.
