Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, you will be greeted by Sandy with a cool jasmine towel and our freshly brewed Lavazza coffee. Sandy will welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center or you can fill the paperwork out in the office, if you prefer. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

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

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Paul Herman will perform a complete chiropractic examination. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we will take X-rays. X-rays help us determine 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 on our new digital x-ray interface. 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. Paul Herman 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, examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Paul Herman will discuss recommendations and discuss with you what your treatment plan will consist of.  Dr. Paul Herman  will  provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial appointment, we will set up another appointment to review your x-rays with you. Dr, Herman will discuss his findings and treatments may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage.  Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.

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 or heat 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 a healthy spine, have a  healthy diet, exercise, maintain a positive mental stateand most of all be pain free.
