Your first Visit
Let us extend a warm and
personal welcome to you. We will provide you with an extraordinary health care
program as well as many informative educational opportunities.
WHY?
First you’ll want to make informed decisions
regarding your health. During the course of your care you’ll be presented with
several choices that will affect your ability to reach your own individual
health objectives.
Second, this information will be useful for you to make decisions concerning
your health care for the rest of your life.
FIRST VISIT
On your first visit we will gather
information about you via consultation and examination. There will be someone
here to assist you each step of the way. Please ask questions at any time; your
consent and full understanding precede each step of your process.
PATIENT EDUCATION
We will give you information and clinical
data in the form of literature, media and personal presentations. These are
designed to help you understand your own health status and recommended programs
of care. Everything is brief and to the point. We recommend that you read the
material and keep it together for reference during the course of your care.
CHIROPRACTIC EDUCATION
Chiropractic education currently consists of
four years of pre-Chiropractic college education in the biological sciences,
followed by another four years of Chiropractic education and clinical
internship. We also attend many hours of post graduate education each year
to keep current with the latest advances in health care.
PAPERWORK AND FORMS
We have minimized paperwork in our office.
However, there are clinical forms that must be filled out accurately for your
health, legal and professional reasons. We ask that you read each form through
before completing it so you understand its intent. If you have questions, please
ask.
HEALTH ATTITUDES
Your attitude about health is as important as
the specific reason you’ve consulted our office. Below are five prevalent health
attitudes. Please mark those that reflect your personal values.
__Treatment Only – I consult a doctor when I have an ache or pain and
discontinue care as son as my symptoms have cleared up.
__ Prevention – In addition to symptomatic treatment, I consult specialists
occasionally to prevent problems from recurring.
__ Maintaining Health – I’m conscious about my health, diet, exercise and
attitude. I actively pursue this lifestyle because it maximizes my potential.
__ Healing and Self Discovery –
I am aware of the innate wisdom of
the body-mind and I am committed to its fullest expression.
__ Family Health Care – I actively seek information to make informed health care
decisions for myself and for my family. I am aware that the long term benefits
of natural health care are encouraged human growth and development.
