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. Pansegrau to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Pansegrau to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Pansegrau 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.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
On your follow up visit Dr. Pansegrau will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays in great detail, Dr. Pansegrau will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Pansegrau will present to you her proposed schedule of care with the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
Following the Report of Findings you will begin your treatment. This may include spinal adjustments and any therapy treatments the doctor recommends for your condition. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment at 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.
