What to expect on your first appointment?
Your first appointment at Cypress Chiropractic & Wellness begins with a smile and a warm welcome!
Dr. Sarah will talk with you about your particular health challenges, your health goals, and health history. It’s important that you are heard. After that, postural photos will be taken to document where your posture is currently. Your posture says a lot about the health of your spine and overall health in general.
Once these steps are completed, your spinal exam will commence. This usually includes, static palpation, motion palpation, range-of-motion assessments, neurological leg-length measurements, and gait analysis. Dr. Sarah will analyze, locate, and then adjust accordingly.
Adjustments look different for each person and Dr. Sarah pulls from many different techniques in order to adapt to your body’s needs and preferences. She uses Gonstead, Webster, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Thompson, Logan Basic, and Network Spinal Techniques. Once you are adjusted, the stress from your nervous system is removed so that the healing process can begin.
At the end of the first appointment, a followup session will be scheduled to go over your Report of Findings and a plan of action that will best support you in reaching your health goals.
The first appointment usually takes about 45 minutes, so please schedule to arrive on time and with your intake forms completed. Your intake forms are emailed to you after booking your initial appointment online.
Your first appointment is your first step in healing and achieving your optimal health. We are honored to serve you!
