Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our team will  welcome you as a member of our family.  If you have not already done so, we will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.  To expedite the paperwork process please fill out the Health Intake Form listed under the New Patient Center tab.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Terrie Huls to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Huls to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Terrie Huls will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. We will also utilize state of the art computerized equipment to evaluate your overall level of health.  Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests may be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays 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, Dr. Huls will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr.  Huls will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr.  Huls  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

 In order to provide you with the very best care possible, we will take all the time necessary to thoroughly review your history and examination findings.  We will do our homework and prepare a report with the results of all of your tests.  We will then schedule a separate appointment to explain our findings to you so that you have all of your questions answered before any care begins.  

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a  wellness program  to incorporate outside of treatment.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire,  our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan.  The purpose  of our wellness program is for   you  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.  In general, to give you the tools to help you pursue the healthiest life possible for you.
