What to Expect During Your Initial Chiropractic Visit
A Warm Welcome to Our Chiropractic Family
Your chiropractic first visit experience begins with a friendly greeting from our front-desk team. We’ll take the time to introduce you to our staff, help you complete any new patient forms, and give you a quick tour of our office. We want you to feel right at home in a warm, stress-free environment.
We know visiting a new healthcare provider can bring up questions or uncertainty — our staff will happily answer any questions you may have about chiropractic care, payment options, or the upcoming steps in your visit.
Step-by-Step Chiropractic Consultation Process
Your chiropractic consultation process begins with a detailed conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and current symptoms. Dr. John Y. Curtis, our experienced chiropractor, will listen carefully to your concerns and explain how chiropractic care can help address the root cause of your discomfort — not just the symptoms.
Following this discussion, Dr. Curtis will perform a comprehensive physical examination. This may include posture checks, range-of-motion testing, and gentle spinal assessments to identify misalignments or areas of tension. In some cases, diagnostic imaging may be recommended to get a clearer picture of your spinal health.
The goal of this step in the initial chiropractic visit is to fully understand your condition and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your body’s needs.
Understanding Your Chiropractic Report and Care Options
After your evaluation, Dr. Curtis will review the findings of your examination and explain what’s happening in your body in simple, clear terms. You’ll learn how chiropractic adjustments can restore balance, relieve pain, and improve your overall health.
At Ft. Campbell Chiropractic, we believe in a partnership approach. By educating you about your condition and care plan, we empower you to take an active role in your wellness journey.
The Phases of Chiropractic Care
Our care model follows three distinct phases designed to support your recovery and long-term wellness.
Phase 1: Relief Care
The first stage focuses on relief care, where the goal is to reduce immediate pain and discomfort. During this phase, your visits may be more frequent to help stabilize your spine and restore mobility. Most patients start noticing improvement early in their chiropractic consultation process, as their body begins to respond to gentle adjustments and therapeutic techniques.
Phase 2: Corrective Care
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Finally, wellness care helps you maintain the results you’ve achieved. Regular maintenance visits allow your body to stay aligned, flexible, and resilient. Many of our patients choose to continue periodic care even after their original concerns are resolved because they feel more energetic, sleep better, and enjoy greater daily comfort.
