If you're a first-time visitor at Barnes Family Chiropractic, you'll need to give us some information about your background, medical history and the nature of your condition.

This is so that we can provide the best possible care, tailored to your specific circumstances.

A bit of paperwork

You will need to fill out forms that provide general information about you and your condition. Our staff will be happy to assist you with the paperwork.

Consultation

During your first consultation with the doctor, you'll discuss any health-related issues and concerns. You will also learn about potential treatment options.

History and examination

In order to pinpoint the problem, the doctor will ask you a number of questions related to your condition. A variety of targeted tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.

X-rays

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in determining the most effective treatment plan for you.

Same-day treatment

Patients will generally undergo their first treatment on their inital visit following the examination and x-rays. This may include spinal, extremity adjustments and therapeutic modalities.

Home instructions

Before leaving, you will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat applications, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises.

Scheduling the next appointment

Regular treatment is essential to the process. Our treatment plans can be tailored around your schedule.
