Feeling nervous or uncertain is normal, but we assure you that this visit can be the beginning of a great improvement in your health. At ChiroDuo, we want you to feel comfortable from the very first moment. In this article, we will tell you step by step what happens during your chiropractic appointment.
What does a chiropractor do at the first consultation?
On your first visit, the chiropractor performs a comprehensive evaluation of your health and posture. The main goal is to understand the source of your pain or discomfort and create an appropriate treatment plan.
Welcome and registration
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our team with a smile. You will be asked to fill out a form with information about your medical history, symptoms and lifestyle.
Initial consultation: What questions does a chiropractor ask?
The chiropractor will talk to you to understand the reason for your visit. During this conversation, he will ask you key questions to identify the causes of your problem:
- How long have you had pain or discomfort?
- What activities make the problem worse?
- Have you had any recent falls or accidents?
- Do you have any history of injury or surgery?
- What activities do you frequently do (work, sports)?
- Do you have any pain or stiffness when you move?
- How does this problem affect your daily life?
Answering honestly helps the chiropractor identify the causes of your discomfort and offer you the best possible treatment.
Physical evaluation
Next, the chiropractor will analyze your posture, movements and muscle tone. Depending on the case, he or she may order X-rays to identify specific misalignments in the spine.
The chiropractic adjustment: What can you expect?
Once the evaluation has been completed, the chiropractor will perform a chiropractic adjustment. This procedure is safe, natural and non-invasive.
- It will review your spinal column to detect misalignments (called subluxations).
- It will apply gentle and precise adjustments to release accumulated tension in your muscles and nerves.
- You may hear a small "popping" sound. Don't worry, it's just the release of trapped gases in the joints.
The adjustment helps restore mobility, reduce inflammation and relieve pain at its source.
