Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office Melissa will greet and welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request you complete some forms to provide general information about yourself and your state of health.

Consultation

Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Shahrestani to discuss your health, lifestyle, concerns, and goals. Your first visit is designed to learn about you, your physical state, work, and limitations, any condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals.

Examination & computerized nerve testing

After your consultation, chiropractic examination and computerized chiropractic nerve stress testing will be done. As necessary, range of motion testing, orthopedic or neurologic testing will be performed.  Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Your specific condition may require x-rays. X-rays help us determine the structural and biomechanical state of your spinal column.  Non spinal x-rays - like shoulder, hips, knees, ribs, etc may be necessary as well.  

Report of Findings

Once all the information and examinations have been performed, all information gathered will be evaluated.  You will be scheduled for a follow up appointment with Dr. Shahrestani where a report of findings will be provided.

During this report in your second visit, we will let you know if we can help you.  We will then detail the necessary steps, time lines, and costs involved.

Treatment

If our commitment to get you well is in line with your goals, and you agree to follow our recommendations, care will begin on this second visit. This may include spinal adjustments, and other therapies.  Treatment is customized to individual patient needs and comfort level.

Wellness Program

Once you are out of crisis mode, we begin a wellness journey.  This will include a plethora of components from need to do certain activities, avoidance of other activities, diet, exercise, supplements etc.

We do not place everyone on the same program, and realize that people do not eat the same way, and do not like the same activities.  We honor your uniqueness, and work with you on this.  But do not be fooled.  You will be stepping out of your comfort zone.
