Your First Chiropractic Visit in Howell, MI
Here at Family Chiropractic, we want your first visit to be as relaxing and informative as possible. We want you to leave with your questions answered and feeling excited about the progress you have already made toward a healthier, pain-free life.
Why People Visit a Chiropractor for the First Time
Many people visit a chiropractor for the first time because they are experiencing pain, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches or discomfort after an auto accident. Others come to us because they want to begin a preventive wellness plan to stay healthy and active. Whatever brings you in, your first visit is all about understanding you.
We Start by Listening
We understand the body and how it works, but no one knows your body better than you do. During your first visit, Dr. Adam Fasick will spend time talking with you so you can explain any pain you have, when it started and how it affects your daily life. He’ll also review your health history and goals for care.
A Thorough Examination
Dr. Adam may gently feel around painful areas to get a better sense of what’s going on and check your posture, movement and alignment. He may also take digital X-rays to get a good look at your spine, though they are not always needed. Because our X-ray equipment is in the office, we can review your images together right away.
Getting Your Body Back Into Alignment
We believe pain is often the result of something in the body being out of alignment. After your exam, Dr. Adam will explain his findings and recommend a plan to restore proper alignment. Most patients receive their first gentle adjustment on day one using the Sigma Instrument, the Activator Method or another technique suited to your needs.
Your plan may also include supportive care such as massage therapy, Kinesio taping or corrective exercises to help you heal and stay well.
Our Goal: Feel Better and Stay That Way
Our goal is to help you feel better as quickly as possible and help you stay that way. It is possible to live a life without pain. When you leave your first visit, you should understand what’s going on, what your plan is and feel excited about the progress you’ve already made.
To prepare, bring your driver’s license and insurance card, and consider completing your new patient form ahead of time. For a step-by-step look at your appointment, see What to Expect.
