Your First Visit to Our Sparta Practice
It's a chiropractic investigation
Your first visit is really an investigation into what is going on with you right now. In order to, first, determine whether or not you're a candidate for chiropractic care, and secondly what should that course of care look like, a consultation and exam are performed.
The consultation covers your medical history both past and present, as well as what goals you may have for your future health. The exam consists of a complete neurologic, orthopedic, physical and chiropractic examination followed by a computerized scan of the spine and any necessary x-rays. Once the doctor has sufficiently gathered the information needed to determine that you are a candidate for care and a care plan is established, your second visit will cover what was found in the first visit. You can schedule your second visit at the end of your examination.
It should be noted that as a rule, rather than the exception, adjustments are not given on the first visit. There are reasons why adjustments should not be performed on certain people and these reasons are ruled out by the procedures of the first visit.
However, we are sensitive to your needs for relief.

Heat is beneficial in select circumstances, but makes inflammation worse and for that reason should be avoided in the beginning of care.
