Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, Carol or Tabitha will welcome you to the center.  Your first step is to complete new patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your current condition.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Kris Pollack to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Kris Pollack to learn more about you and evaluate your condition so we can assist your body in doing what it does best and naturally, heal.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Kris Pollack will perform a complete hands-on chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. In addition, we will use some of the newer technoligies such as our Pulstar machine. 

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 the examinations are completed, Dr. Kris Pollack will give you a detailed report of all his findings and answer your questions including:

1. What's wrong with me?
2.  How can you help me?
3.  How often do I need to come in?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Kris Pollack will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Kris Pollack  will  use a combination of therapeutic tools and techniques designed for maximun results. Your specialized treatment plan will often include a wellness program for optimal healing.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of your initial consultation, it's time to schedule your treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, decompression therapy, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage.  Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.

               Wellness Program

Upon leaving, Dr. Pollock 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.
