New Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. If you have not completed the new patient forms ahead of time (a printable version is available on our website), we will request that you complete them in our office. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Nguyen Tran to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Nguyen Tran to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care, acupuncture, and physical rehabilitation can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Nguyen Tran will perform a complete chiropractic physical examination, testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may send you out for X-rays. Imaging helps us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Nguyen Tran will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Nguyen Tran will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Nguyen Tran will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, with your consent, you will experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, acupuncture, cupping therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express questions and concerns about the different styles of treatment at anytime.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor might suggest some lifestyle modification, supplement recommendations, and wellness goals to incorporate outside of our office. This may include ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and stretches. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized treatment and wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
