What Can I Expect During My First Visit to Bode Chiropractic Center?

Although each doctor' s process will vary, at Bode Chiropractic Center you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with Dr. Bode. This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also for the Chiropractor to express his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis. A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation. In some cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis. Electromyography and thermography scans will also be performed giving Dr. Bode measurable information about the functioning of your nervous system. You may have your gait and stance evaluated if the doctor feels it necessary to further diagnose the cause of your low back pain. Dr. Bode will go over the results of the exam, scans, and x-rays with you. Then, depending on your situation, he may give you an adjustment and/or begin physical therapy, if needed. Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, Dr. Bode may schedule a series of adjustments for care.
