What Can I Expect During My First Chiropractic Visit?

Although each doctor's process will vary, generally you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and "new patient" paperwork. You will then consult with the doctor.

This consultation is your opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations, and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also for Dr. Noble to explain his role in your health care and discuss your health prognosis.

A physical exam will be performed which may include orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation.

In most cases x-rays may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis and extent of degenerative change. X-rays are scheduled as soon as possible (if time allows they can be done on first visit) and are done in our office.

Dr. Noble will go over the results of the exam and x-rays with you at the "Report Of Findings" visit. Then, depending on your situation, the doctor may give you an adjustment and/or begin physical therapy, if needed.

Adjustments shouldn't be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, Dr. Noble may schedule a series of visits for care.
