About Your First Appointment @ Innate Chiropractic

• A thorough history & examination 

• We take time to listen to you and what’s bringing you into the office 

• We utilize instrumentation called a nervoscope that reads heat in the spine and helps us further pinpoint areas of inflammation where an adjustment may need to be made following further examination.  

• Palpation of the spine tells us a lot, both static and motion. When statically palpating the spine, we are feeling for areas of inflammation. The motion palpation helps tell us exactly how that certain bone is stuck and how to adjust it correctly to relief pressure off of your nerves. 

2. Full Spine X-ray

• We take x-rays because to see is to know. The curves of the spine, the changes in shape, size, fractures, etc. tell us a lot of information and all help us better care for you specifically. Not only do x-rays get more specific with care, they also help tell us what or where we may need to stay away from as well. 

• We work without x-rays on women who are pregnant, breastfeeding and children 

3. Specific adjustment 

• After utilizing all the tools to get specific with your Chiropractic care, you will receive an adjustment that is gentle and minimizes any rotation/twisting in the spine. Adjustments help to eliminate swelling, relief nerve pressure and help you function better. 

• A follow up visit is important after your very first visit, so we can determine how well your body did or did not hold an adjustment. We are able to talk about any changes you did or did not experience after your first visit. Together we can come up with a plan to decide how often it would be best to come in for care. Follow up visits are only 15 minutes and include an adjustment.
