New Patient Paperwork will be provided before or during your initial visit to get a detailed look at the patient’s medical history.
Dr. Cole will perform an examination that will consist of checking posture for imbalances, range of motion at the neck, low back and/or extremities to get a baseline of range. Depending on patient goals and what Dr. Cole feels is necessary and beneficial, a neurological examination to evaluate upper, lower motor nerves and cranial nerves, sensory and orthopedic testing will be performed.
Then palpation of the spine/vertebral column to find spinal joints that are subluxated/fixed joints and palpation of the muscles to evaluate for muscle spasms.
Once it is determined that your examination warrants treatment, treatment will be performed by one of the adjustment techniques, which will consist of spinal or extremity adjustments performed using the activator method and/or manual hands-on techniques.
Both adjustment techniques and other modalities (massage, electrical muscle stimulation, intersegmental traction, therapeutic stretching), as well as the other services may be provided based on presentation of the patient.
Following your first visit, it is usually recommended to follow up with Dr. Cole to monitor your progress from your first treatment as well as game plan to help you reach your health goals.
Patients of Dr. Cole have benefited greatly from a combination of chiropractic and massage.
