What to Expect

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our staff will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms here on our website. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information regarding your condition.

Consultation

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

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Siraguso 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 prior.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Siraguso may take X-rays. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions or structural issues that may be contributing to your condition. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

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.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Siraguso 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. Siraguso will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Siraguso will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.

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.
