Starting Care

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete forms providing us with your health history and your current  condition.  The better you fill these out, the better we can help you.

Consultation

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

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Pizzadili  will perform a thorough examination including neurological, orthopedic, and chiropractic tests.  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 detect any serious spinal conditions and help us develop  the most effective treatment plan for you. 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

Your health history, examination findings and X-rays will be carefully studied by Dr. Pizzadili to determine the best recommendations to fit your condition and your health goals.  You will need to schedule another appointment for a Report of Findings, usually on the next day.  Once at the Report of Findings, key questions to be answered are:

How can you help me?
How often do I need to come in?
What will my treatment  cost?

Dr. Pizzadili will explain the findings to your satisfaction and recommend the best treatment and/or wellness program for your needs.  If your condition requires coordination with other providers, this will be discussed.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of your Report of Findings, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. Everything will be clearly explained as you begin your journey towards Pain Relief, Optimal Health, and a Higher Quality of Life.

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.
