Like any other medical office, most chiropractors make an effort to streamline the process of scheduling an appointment so it’s as easy as possible for patients in need. For most people, an initial consultation will be a crucial first step in the process. Chiropractors typically offer this as a way to introduce the practice and get to know you a bit better, oftentimes performing a preliminary physical exam that tests range of motion, posture, and muscular strength. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you may have regarding treatment methods and timeline, as well as schedule your first adjustment.
Booking a consultation is often as easy as contacting the chiropractic office by phone, email, or web form. The exact method will vary between practices, but today’s digital landscape makes it easier than ever to find what you need via search engines and web pages. Here at Chiropractic Health Charlotte, you can request an appointment directly on our website. Simply use the provided form to send us your name, email, and phone number, as well as what type of appointment you’d like to make. If you’d rather contact us directly, use the phone numbers on our website to call one of our two locations in Matthews or Dilworth.
After your initial consultation, you’ll typically be asked to schedule a follow-up adjustment with the administrative team. Chiropractic care is preventative as well as responsive, meaning that consistent maintenance through regular visits is just as important as addressing immediate symptoms. You may be asked to come a few times a week at the start of your treatment, but the frequency may lessen to once or twice per month over time. Follow your chiropractor’s recommendations, and always be sure to keep your appointments.
Now that you’re on the schedule, here are some things you can do to prepare:
• Wear comfortable clothing. Chiropractic is a very tactile practice. Be sure to wear flexible, breathable clothing that allows for unrestricted movement.
• Make a list of symptoms and problem areas. There’s nothing worse than having your mind go blank at the most inopportune moment. Making a list will help you remember, and it will give your chiropractor a better idea of what needs work.
• Arrive before your scheduled time slot. Just like at the doctor or the dentist, be sure to arrive early in case you need to fill out any paperwork.
