Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, one of our receptionists (Mandi or Abby) will welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

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

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Kauffman will perform a complete chiropractic examination. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may need to refer you out for X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. 

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first adjustment.  Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.

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 and the consumption of water.  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.
