What to expect on your first visit

Our team is excited to welcome you to Vike-Steinich Chiropractic. Before your visit, we would appreciate if you complete our online new patient form, available below. If you are unable to complete prior to your appointment, please arrive 10 minutes early to complete your forms on our Ipad. By completing your paperwork in advance, you allow the doctor more time to get to know you and to review your history in detail. This will help us provide the best care for you and help you achieve better results. 

Dr. Kristin will talk with you about your health history and any concerns you have. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have about chiropractic care.  Dr. Kristin will perform a complete exam. A Nervo-scope is used to detect heat, which locates any areas of swelling.  Static palpation, which is simply feeling the bones in your spine for tenderness, swelling and/or other abnormalities. Motion palpation, which is simply bending your spine to look for signs of fixation. 

If necessary, Dr. Kristin will take a full spine weight bearing x-rays. X-rays are an important tool for analysis.  They can help determine the condition of the discs, the phases of degeneration, to locate potential problem areas and misalignments. To see is to know, to not see is to guess. We don't want to guess when it comes to your health care. 

Dr. Kristin will explain how the adjustment is going to happen and your chiropractic care will begin on the first visit. It is her goal to get you back on the road to health as quickly as possible without having predetermined number of future visits. Please keep in mind that periodic "tune ups" are a important factor in maintaining good health.
