First Visit
Upon entering the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with information about you and your condition. Copies of a few of our forms are located at the "New Patient Forms" link. To save time, you may print them, fill them out and bring the completed forms to your first appointment.
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with Dr. Walsh to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.
In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.
Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions and avoidance of certain activities or positions.
You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.
