Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located 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 Dr. Cheryl and Robert Schmitt to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Cheryl and Robert Schmitt to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Cheryl and Robert Schmitt will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your nervous system function and muscular performance. Other standard neurological,  postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. 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 up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Cheryl and Robert Schmitt will analyze your findings to prepare to give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Cheryl and Robert Schmitt will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Cheryl and Robert Schmitt  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, the doctor will go over any home instructions and answer any questions that you have. A follow up appointment will be scheduled to go over your examination in detail so that you can understand your options for care and what best suites your health care goals. Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of care at anytime. In some instances, you will be able to receive your fist adjustment the same day as your initial evaluation. Typically your first adjustment will occur on your second visit, after the doctors have time to carefully review your x-ray and examination findings.

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.
