Day 1: On the first day we will gather all the information we need to see how we can help you. We will take our time to study this information thoroughly in order to give our best possible recommendations.
Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition. Rest assured that nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Rolando Toulon to discuss any health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Rolando to learn more about you, your health goals & expectations, and any health issues or conditions you may have. This will help us to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Rolando will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing the function of your nerve system. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us in finding the cause of most problems, assist us to develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Dr. Rolando will then thoroughly study and analyze your X-rays & exam findings and will go over all of the results with you on your next appointment. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Day 2: Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Rolando will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Rolando will discuss recommendations, cost of treatment, and notify you if your condition requires care with any other providers. Dr. Rolando will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of your second appointment, you can choose to experience your first Specific Chiropractic Adjustment. Dr. Rolando uses the very specific Gonstead Technique which requires many extra years of study and practice. Experience the Gonstead Difference!
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
