New Patient Forms
The First Visit
Before your appointment, we will send you a reminder message to confirm and ask you to complete the new patient intake form. If you prefer, you can fill it out at the clinic on the day of your appointment, but we encourage you to complete it beforehand so our chiropractors can review it.
During your visit, please remember to bring any previous scans or reports, such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans.
Upon arrival, you will have the opportunity to fill out the new patient intake form if you haven’t done so already. We will also take posture analysis photos and videos for gait analysis and neurological/balance testing.
After these initial procedures, you will meet with your chiropractor for a thorough consultation and full spine chiropractic examination, including a Nervo-Scope® to detect heat differences in the tissues along the spine, as well as motion and static palpation.
The Importance of X-rays
If you don’t have X-rays prior to your appointment, we provide you with a request to have them done at another facility. We recommend three hospitals in the city due to their superior equipment. If you had previous X-rays that are not sufficient or need to be redone, we can also give you a request to redo the X-rays. The X-ray facility is required to send us the CD containing the digital images before your next appointment for the chiropractors to analyze.
The Second Visit
For the second appointment, we will delve into the chiropractic exam findings and carefully analyze the X-rays. Afterward, a comprehensive report will be provided, and we will have an in-depth discussion about the treatment plan and schedule. In addition, we will make sure that you feel comfortable and ready to begin any necessary treatments or adjustments during this appointment.
How Our Follow-up Appointments Are Different
At our practice, we take a unique approach to patient visits that sets us apart from other practices in the Philippines. Unlike typical visits where patients come in, and adjustments are made immediately, our chiropractors prioritize a thorough assessment before any adjustments are made.
We highlight this distinction because some patients may assume that having X-rays automatically means they can get adjusted. However, our chiropractors understand the significance of carefully reviewing the X-ray results and tailoring treatment plans based on individual goals.
Personalized Care Plans
Consistency plays a crucial role in chiropractic care. While some patients may not be able to commit to regular visits, we emphasize the importance of adhering to the typical frequency of two visits per week for about two to three weeks initially. This allows us to assess the effectiveness of adjustments over a longer period. Depending on the progress observed, we can then adjust the frequency to once a week, every two weeks, or every three weeks.
Follow-up Consultation
On your second visit, your chiropractor will present you with a full report of the findings which includes the results of the chiropractic examination, X-Ray analysis, and recommended treatment plan and scheduling. Other recommendations will also be given depending on your condition. On the second visit, you’ll be able to understand the cause of your health concerns and how we plan to specifically address them. You can choose to begin treatment on this day and then schedule further appointments as appropriate.
