//First chiropractic appointment
Your First Visit
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. Eric Dzwonkowski to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Eric Dzwonkowski to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Eric Dzwonkowski 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.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Eric Dzwonkowski will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:● How can you help me?● How often do I need to come in?● What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Eric Dzwonkowski will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Eric Dzwonkowski 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
Before you leave, your doctor may recommend a personalized wellness plan to support your care outside the office. This can include guidance on using ice or heat, activities to avoid, and simple exercises or stretches to do at home. If you choose, our wellness team can also help you build healthy habits and routines that fit your lifestyle. Because every patient is unique, each wellness plan is customized to support proper spinal alignment, healthy movement, balanced nutrition, and a positive mindset.

What to Expect
Chiropractic care is like building a house—your body needs a strong foundation before everything else can work properly. If foundational issues aren’t addressed first, true healing and long-term health can’t be achieved.
