First Visits- What To Expect-Skokie Chiropractor 60077
Published by Chicago Chiropractor Seaman Chiropractic on Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 1:39 AM.
When patients from Skokie come to my Seaman Chiropractic Center for a first time appointment, they often don't know what to expect. I am Dr Cynthia Seaman, Doctor of Chiropractic using my healing hands and I've been practicing and teaching patients for twenty-five years.
When you first come in, the front desk will greet you and help you to fill out our paperwork. She will then give you a pamphlet and discuss "What is Chiropractic". She also gives you a tour of our office so you can get your bearings and be aware of the different services available to you as your chiropractic progressive recovery continues.
Consultation
The first question for me to answer is whether this is a chiropractic problem. I will ask you questions about how and when it started , the severity and what makes you better and worse, the first time you ever had it , childhood and adult accidents , falls and family history. I am interested in trying to completely understand your health condition. I begin by asking questions but the diagnosis of the condition is usually determined by the next two steps.
Physical Examination
I will then do a thorough chiropractic, neurological, orthopedic exam of the body {vertebrae, nerves, muscles, joints}. You might have what you THINK is arm pain which may actually be coming from your neck. If you have a heart attack and have left arm pain , you don't want the doctor examining your arm. You want that doctor to know where the cause of the problem. That is what I do.
This will also lead to x-rays because I am not superman and I can't see inside you. Often I find a patient's former doctor didn't take x-rays and something very important and relevant is missed.
Report Of Findings
After I have analyzed your health condition, you will be given a report of findings (ROF). During the ROF, I will be explaining how the body works as it relates to your condition, your diagnosis,
an optimal treatment plan including what services are needed, number of visits and the possible payment options for your financial responsibility.
Then you can make a educated decision based on what is actually wrong, what disease process is happening and what my medical opinion is for correction and stability.
