Your first visit, what to expect.

Thank you for choosing Life Chiropractic North Royalton. What should you expect from your first visit here.

1. When you arrive at our facility, the first step in your visit will involve completing some essential paperwork. This paperwork is designed to gather important information that will assist us in providing you with the best possible care. We estimate that it should only take a couple of minutes to complete, as we have streamlined the process to ensure efficiency and ease.

   
   

   To facilitate this, you will find that the forms are straightforward and user-friendly. They typically include sections for your personal details, medical history, and any specific concerns or symptoms you may wish to address during your visit. If you encounter any difficulties or have questions while filling out the forms, please do not hesitate to ask for assistance. Our staff is readily available and more than willing to help guide you through the process, ensuring that everything is filled out correctly and promptly.

   
   

   Additionally, if you are planning to use insurance for your visit, we will make an effort to verify your coverage at that time. This verification process is crucial as it helps us determine what services are covered under your plan and what, if any, out-of-pocket expenses you may need to anticipate. Our team will work diligently to contact your insurance provider and clarify your benefits, aiming to provide you with a clear understanding of your financial responsibilities before your appointment proceeds.

   
   

2. Next, Dr. Keith will take you back to a private consultation room where he will have the opportunity to thoroughly discuss your complaints and concerns in detail. This initial conversation is crucial, as it allows Dr. Keith to understand your medical history, the specific symptoms you are experiencing, and any other relevant factors that may be influencing your health. He will ask you a series of targeted questions to gain a comprehensive understanding of your condition, including the duration of your symptoms, their severity, and any previous treatments you may have tried. Following this discussion, Dr. Keith will perform a detailed physical examination tailored to your individual needs. This examination may include various assessments depending on your specific complaints, such as checking your range of motion or examining specific areas of concern. In addition to the physical exam, Dr. Keith may recommend digital X-rays if he believes they are necessary to provide a clearer picture of your condition. These X-rays can help identify any underlying issues that may not be visible through a standard examination, such as fractures, misalignments, or other structural problems. The use of digital X-ray technology allows for quicker processing and clearer images, which can enhance the diagnostic process. After gathering all the necessary information through the discussion, examination, and any imaging, Dr. Keith will be able to provide you with a more accurate diagnosis and discuss potential treatment options that are best suited to address your specific needs.

   
   

3. Dr. Keith will then perform a light adjustment or acupuncture, depending on what is needed based on the patient's specific condition and overall health assessment. A light adjustment typically involves gentle movement of the spine or joints to enhance mobility and restore proper function.

   
   

   On the other hand, if acupuncture is deemed more suitable, Dr. Keith will carefully insert thin needles at strategic points in the body promote healing. This ancient practice can effectively address a variety of ailments, including chronic pain, stress, and tension.

   
   

   After the adjustment or acupuncture session, Dr. Keith will most likely recommend a follow-up appointment. The frequency and timing of follow-up appointments may vary depending on the individual’s response to treatment and their specific health goals. Dr. Keith may also provide additional recommendations for exercises, lifestyle changes, or nutritional advice to support the healing process and enhance overall well-being.

   
   

4. Before the follow-up appointment, Dr. Keith will take the necessary time to carefully review your X-rays and any other relevant test results that have been collected during your previous visits. This thorough examination is crucial as it allows him to gain a comprehensive understanding of your current health status and any underlying issues that may need to be addressed. Based on this detailed analysis, he will be able to make informed decisions regarding the most appropriate course of care tailored specifically for your individual needs. During the follow-up appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss his findings and recommendations, allowing for an open dialogue about your care options.
