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.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Michael Dody to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Michael Dody to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Michael Dody will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

Insight Millenium Scan

We have a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool called the Insight Millenium which will help us find nervous system interference, much of which may be below symptomatic levels.  This scan will give you objective findings on muscle spasm, voluntary and autonomic nervous system function.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Michael Dody will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. What's going on?
2. Can you help me?
3. How long will it take?
4. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and scans, Dr. Michael Dody will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers. Dr. Michael Dody  will  provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage.  Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.

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.
