What to expect during the first appointment
When you walk into our wellness clinic, it’s like walking into any other medical office. Here are some things you can expect.
- You will register at the front desk when you arrive at our office. We’ll need your insurance information as well as any other paperwork you’ve brought with you (i.e., referral, X-ray or MRI report, other medical reports)
- Following that, you will be evaluated by one of our physiotherapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, or massage therapists. The therapists conduct a thorough assessment that includes your previous medical history as well as your current pain, illness, or injury. Having an open and honest conversation with us is critical to our ability to assist you. For the best possible solution, we sincerely want to hear and understand your problem(s).
- Our physiotherapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, naturopathic doctor, or massage therapist will assess your range of motion, strength, and movement patterns during your appointment. Based on the results of your evaluation, our physiotherapist will develop a treatment plan for you. During the first day, you will most likely receive a complete explanation of why you feel the way you do. In addition, you will likely receive some treatments to alleviate any pain. Each subsequent therapy session will build on the initial evaluation to maximize impact. Our goal is to assist you with a rapid recovery while achieving long-term, meaningful results.
- Your physiotherapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, naturopathic doctor, or massage therapist will document their findings and treatment plan, which can be provided to any medical expert that you choose.
- Our therapist will discuss your goals during your first session. This will be based on sound reasoning and clinical experience and will determine how long and how frequently you should attend your wellness sessions.
- You will schedule the remainder of your appointments at the front desk before you leave your initial appointment.
If you have questions, please contact us at any time. We want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible as you return to normal.
