You will speak with Dr. Sarah to review your health history as well to create your vision of ideal living.
POSTURE ASSESSMENT
Your posture will be assessed and document with with photos to see out your spine is positioned in relation to you whole body.
NERVE SYSTEM SCANS
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Spinal Thermopgraphy. For a description of these objective readings, please refer to this page. If you have questions, just ask. One of the main rules here at Cypress Chiropractic is that the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask, so…ASK AWAY!
EXAMINATION
You will receive a hands on comprehensive chiropractic examination that includes joint and muscle palpation, orthopedic tests, leg length checks, and range of motion.
CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS
You will be checked for vertebral subluxation and if present you’ll get adjusted. At Cypress, adjustments are included in your Initial Session as long as x-rays are not necessary.
The initial session takes about 40 - 50 minutes.
X-RAYS (Local Imaging Center)
It may be necessary to order x-rays of your spine to determine severity and complexity and to rule out any pathology. These are ordered and sent out to a local imaging center.
Your Second Chiropractic Appointment - Report of Findings
REPORT OF FINDINGS (ROF):
During your second session, Dr. Sarah will share what she discovered about your health based on your Consultation, Exams, Scans, and X-Rays (if they were ordered). From there, she will provide your Customized Care Plan, which is the route for regaining and keeping your health. During that time she will also share ways in which you can commit to your progress and save money. We find that it’s much easier to bring your spouse/significant other with you so that they can hear what Dr. Sarah reports concerning your health. As well, it’s best when your spouse/significant other can ask questions if they so desire. Plan to spend 30- 40 minutes at our office during this visit. All other visits last about 10 minutes. We fully embrace that you do not live to get adjusted but rather get adjusted to FULLY LIVE!!
