What to Expect

What to Expect From a Mobile Chiropractic Visit

I bring the chiropractic visit to you. Here's what happens before, during and after your appointment.

1

Schedule Your Visit

Choose your visit and an available appointment time online. Your location and exact price are confirmed before you book.

2

Complete Your Intake

New patients complete an intake before the appointment so I can review your history, symptoms and goals before I arrive.

3

Evaluation & Examination

We'll talk about what's bothering you and what you're trying to accomplish. I'll evaluate the problem, look at how you're moving and perform appropriate examination or testing based on your situation.

4

Treatment

When appropriate, treatment begins during the same visit. Care is based on what I find during your evaluation rather than a predetermined routine.

5

Know What Comes Next

Before I leave, we'll discuss what I found, things you can do between visits and whether additional care makes sense.

Preparing for Your Visit

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  • Please do not apply topical pain gels, creams, or patches before your appointment.
  • If you can safely do so, avoid anti-inflammatory or over-the-counter pain medication for 24 hours before your visit.
  • Continue prescribed medication as directed unless your prescribing clinician has told you otherwise.
  • Arrival times are approximate — please keep your full ETA range available.
