Your First Visit
Most people walk in wanting the answer to two questions: what’s actually wrong, and whether we can help. Your first visit is built to answer both.
Before we treat
anything, we listen.
If pain or stiffness has been quietly shrinking what you’re able to do, this visit is where that starts to turn around. We spend it understanding your situation — your history, a hands-on exam, and a close look at how you move.
Then we sit down and tell you plainly what we found and how we’d treat it. You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand.
No two plans look alike.
Yours is built from what the exam finds, drawing on any of these — in the mix and order your body calls for.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle, precise adjustments are used to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, restore proper movement, and support healthy nervous system function.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Hands-on techniques target tight muscles, connective tissue, and areas of tension to improve flexibility, reduce discomfort, and promote healing.
Rehabilitation & Corrective Exercises
Personalized exercises help strengthen weak muscles, improve balance and stability, restore healthy movement patterns, and support long-term recovery.
Movement & Functional Assessments
We evaluate how your body moves, identifying muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, posture, and movement patterns that may be contributing to pain or limiting performance.
Lifestyle, Posture
& Ergonomic Guidance
Receive practical recommendations for posture, workplace ergonomics, daily activities, stretching, and exercise to support your recovery and help prevent future injuries.
Not sure where you’d start?
That’s our job. We’ll look for the reason and explain what we find.
We Take the Time to Get It Right.
Plan for 90 minutes to two hours. We use that time to understand what brought you in, examine what’s going on, and make sure you leave knowing what we found and what comes next.
01
Welcome & check-in
You’re greeted by name and helped through any paperwork. We’ll settle insurance and payment up front so nothing surprises you later, and make sure you’re comfortable before we begin.
02
The conversation
You sit down one-on-one with your chiropractor to talk through what brought you in, what’s been bothering you, how it’s affecting your day, and what you want to get back to. We understand the problem first, then determine what comes next.
03
The examination
A hands-on exam worth the name: posture, joint movement, strength and flexibility, orthopedic and neurological testing where useful, and a full read on how you move. This is where we find what’s actually driving the pain.
04
Findings, in plain language
We explain what we found and what’s causing it, in words you could repeat over dinner — including an honest read on whether we’re the right people for it. If you’d be better served elsewhere, we’ll say so.
05
Treatment, the same day
When it’s appropriate, and it usually is, care begins on this visit. Depending on what you need, that’s an adjustment, soft-tissue work, or a few corrective movements to get things moving.
06
A plan with an end in mind
You leave knowing what we recommend, what progress should look like, and how we’ll know when it’s time to reassess or move forward. We may also give you a few specific things to work on at home between visits. The goal is clear: make progress, build independence, and never keep you on a standing schedule without a reason.
BEFORE YOU COME IN
How to prepare.
Five minutes of prep makes the visit smoother and the plan sharper.
Questions about insurance, paperwork, or what to expect? Call your nearest location — that’s what we’re here for.
Bring your ID and insurance card
A photo ID, and your insurance card if you’re using one, so we can verify benefits before you sit down.
Arrive 10–15 minutes early
That gives you time to finish any paperwork and settle in before we begin — no rushing.
Gather your health history
Past injuries, surgeries, medications, and any recent imaging — X-rays or MRIs — related to your concern.
Name the one thing you want back
A pain-free run, a full workday, lifting your kid without bracing. Tell us, and we’ll build toward it.
Bring your questions
Write them down if it helps. We’d rather answer ten than leave you guessing.
INSURANCE & PAYMENT
Your care is decided in the room.
We see patients with and without insurance. We’re in-network with many plans and will see you regardless of your provider. Out of network, or paying on your own? Self-pay pricing is clear and up front — you’ll know the cost before you commit to it.
We work for you, not a third party.
WE’RE HERE FOR YOU
Start at Relieve.
Clarity is part of your care—from understanding what we find to knowing what we’re working toward and what comes next. Your first visit is where that starts.
