What To Expect During Your First Visit
Health History
The first step to beginning chiropractic care is a detailed health history. It is important to include previous injuries, chronic issues, and the current problems that are impacting your health and wellness.
2. Consultation & Examination
After reviewing your health history, Dr. Shores will have a conversation with you with the goal of fully understanding your previous health history and current health concerns. Your first visit will consist of a thorough examination including orthopedic testing and functional assessments to achieve the most accurate diagnosis to address the root cause of your concerns. Dr. Shores will explain his findings in detail and answer any questions you may have. We may refer out for additional diagnostic imaging, if medically necessary.
3. Treatment
Following the evaluation, Dr. Shores will recommend the most appropriate and effective care to address the patient’s diagnosis. Shores Chiropractic offers a wide variety of treatment including manual and instrument adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, manual therapy, mechanical traction, electrical muscle stimulation, cold laser therapy, manual and instrument assisted adhesion release, physiotherapy and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
