If you are visiting with us for the first time, we would like you to know exactly what to expect. Westheights Chiropractic‘s vision is to have a world-class chiropractic office which offers you the most amazing practice member-centered experience you could ask for. We will make sure you feel welcome and supported every step of the way.
We always want to make sure that we are meeting your healthcare goals, so whether you are looking for a quick fix, correcting the root cause of your problem, or wellness care, we are here for you.
Using the latest cutting-edge technology to assess and diagnose the cause of your problem, state of the art electronic health records to ensure your records are kept safe, up to date, and easily accessible to other practitioners on your healthcare team, and top of the line chiropractic tables and equipment which allows our doctors to perform precise spinal adjustments.
From our inspired and passionate team, we are extremely confident you chose the right office for you and your family’s chiropractic health needs. Our office is often described as upbeat and positive, with a happy vibe that results in lots of laughter. We hope you think so, too.
Your first visit will take about 45 minutes to an hour. As you enter the office, you will be warmly greeted by one of our friendly staff members, who will invite you to sit down and complete any unfinished intake forms (we give you the option to fill out your forms online). You will then be introduced to one of our caring clinical chiropractic assistants who will give you a tour of our office and bring you back to our exam room. Here, you will also get to meet your doctor, who with the help of the clinical chiropractic assistant will perform a thorough assessment, which includes:
A detailed health history
Spinal examination, including:
Digital range of motion
Digital postural analysis (including bilateral weight distribution)
Grip strength
Spinal palpation
Neurological examination, including:
Thermal imaging
Surface electromyography
Heart rate variability
X-rays, if necessary (we will refer you to a convenient local facility)
Your second visit will take about 15 minutes. During this time, the doctor will deliver a report of findings, which is a thorough review of your X-ray, spinal, and neurological examination results.
If the doctor is confident that you can be helped with chiropractic care, you will then be able to receive your first chiropractic adjustment.
If the doctor is not confident that chiropractic care can help you, it is their promise and responsibility to you, to refer you to another healthcare provider who can get you the best results possible.
Before your first adjustment, the doctor will explain to you in full detail which adjusting techniques they will be using on you. The first adjustment is considered a warm-up adjustment, the goal for the doctor is to get a feel for how your spine is moving and which technique is going to work best for you.
During this visit, you will receive customized care recommendations based on your condition and your stated goals.
The frequency and intensity of subsequent visits will be determined by the complexity of your case and your stated preference in care goals. This visit will also conclude with your second chiropractic adjustment.
