Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionists will welcome you as a member of our family. We prefer you complete our patient forms online, 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 one of our doctors to discuss your health concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, you will receive a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests are formed, as needed for diagnosis.
On-Site Digital X-Rays
Depending on your specific condition, we may take digital X-rays. 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! Spinal arthritis is common in adults around 40. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, you will receive a detailed report of all findings with answers to any questions including:
- Can you help me?
- How long is it going to take? How often do I need to come?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Joseph Greco will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Joseph Greco 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 spinal adjustments, physical therapy such as electric muscle stim, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment 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.
