Initial Consultation

Your New Patient Visit

Your initial visit will take up to 1 hour and will include:

We always start with a consultation to understand where you are at and how you got there; your personal challenges and the mechanisms that are interfering with your return to health; and what your priorities are.

The consultation directs Dr. Katie to an appropriate physical examination and functional testing that allows identification and quantification of areas of bio-mechanical and neurological dysfunction that contribute to or cause your mobility, pain and other musculoskeletal health issues.

During the history, the chiropractor will discuss your symptoms to help guide the diagnostic process.

The physical exam may involve range of motion assessments, neurological, orthopedic, and functional tests to identify areas of dysfunction contributing to your poor movements patterns and pain symptoms.

Your history and exam findings together allows us to generate and give you a diagnosis or differential diagnosis that we can put to the test with a recommended personal trial treatment plan.

Following the exam, the chiropractor will explain the findings, provide a diagnosis, and collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
