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.
Consultation
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Scott Richmond to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.Your first visit is designed for Dr. Richmond to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Richmond 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.
X-Ray Studies
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation of a patient. 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.
Treatment
Patients will not receive any treatment during this appointment. We will schedule you for our first available appointment the following shift or the next day. This allows Dr. Richmond to fully understand and evaluate your examination findings which may also include X-rays.
Your Doctor's Report
Your most important visit in our office will answer these questions and help you understand what we do, how we are different, and what it takes to be a patient in our office. Dr. Richmond reads x-rays two times per week only. You will be scheduled for our first available report.
