What to Expect
At your initial appointment Dr. Mel will sit down with you to discuss your complete health history, and go over any health concerns you may have. Next, we will scan your spine using the INSiGHT scanner, the most current technology in our profession, to evaluate your overall nervous system health. Scanning allows us to create individualized care plans and objectively track your progress towards your personal and clinical goals. These procedures are non-invasive and completely safe for everyone including children and during pregnancy! We will then perform a posture screen, thorough orthopedic exam and chiropractic analysis to get a full picture of your health status. If it is indicated, we will happily give you your first adjustment at the end of this appointment! Please allow 1 hour for this appointment.
At your second visit, Dr. Mel will have carefully reviewed the results of your spinal scan and posture screen and will have created a personalized care plan specific to your individual health goals. We will discuss your care plan with you and we encourage you to ask any questions you may have as we get ready to take the next steps in improving your health! This visit will take approximately 30 minutes.
