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 (if you have not already done so). This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

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

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Boroditsky will perform a complete physical examination, testing your range of motion, muscle strength and reflexes. 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 require X-rays as well.  X-rays will be performed on-site and will help us to accurately diagnose your condition as well as develop the most effective treatment plan for you.

Report of Findings

Once the history is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Boroditsky will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any and all of your 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 and X-rays, Dr. Boroditsky will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires referral to another provider.   Dr. Boroditsky will  provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include chiropractic manipulative therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, soft tissue massage and rehabilitative exercises.  Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment at anytime.

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor may 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 to perform.  If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.
