Patient Forms
Upon entering our office; we will request that you complete our online 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 Steven Key to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Steven Key to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Steven Key will perform a complete chiropractic examination, computerized nerve scan and posture evaluation, if necessary. Other standard neurological, orthopedic and physical tests will be performed as well with your consent.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays may help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Steven Key will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Steven Key will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Steven Key will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, laser therapy, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express any concerns you might have about the different styles of treatment .
Wellness Program & Home Care
Once you have attained the results you want; Dr. Key might suggest a home wellness program to assist in your care. For example, 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. If you desire, we will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for a healthy lifestyle. This will help maintain your results. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. This phase of care may include chiropractic adjustments, infrared sauna use, Whole Body Vibration Therapy, and supportive nutritional counseling with supplements or herbs.
