Patient Forms
Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family. We will request you fill our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. If you would like to save time, please print and fill out these forms, which are available on this website, before your first visit and bring them to the examination.
Consultation
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Beistline to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Beistline to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Beistline will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Depending on the course of your examination, Dr. Beistline may decide to perform a Myovision sEMG scan to evaluate your level of spinal stress. Please contact our office if you would like more information about Myovision.
X-Ray Studies
Your specific complaints may require us to take x-rays in order to fully evaluate your condition. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves. At this time, we do not have x-ray equipment at our facility and, if necessary, we will refer you out to an imaging center at the close of your examination.
Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, Dr. Beistline will analyze the data and give you a report of findings (usually on the second visit) to answer the three most popular questions:
- Can you help me?
- What do you recommend that I do to get better?
- How much is it going to cost?
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. Beistline will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. Beistline believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.
Treatment
Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of their first appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, physiologic therapeutics (electric muscle stimulation and therapeutic ultrasound, for example) and/or soft tissue therapies. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success. Every body is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan. The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief.
