Your First Visit to Our Practice

We know your time is valuable. That is why we make every possible effort to make your regular visits as efficient and brief as possible so you can get back to your day.

Depending on your situation and how you have been injured, the first couple of visits, will take longer. We usually ask new patients to plan on being at our office at least an hour. This will vary, depending on the severity of your injury, if x-rays are needed, the level of examination that is needed and other varying factors.

We ask new patients to arrive 15 minutes early so they can fill out new patient paperwork to start their file in our office. Also be prepared with your insurance card, any accident reports, and other insurance information if necessary.

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

You will be escorted to our examination/x-ray room, where you will watch a brief video about Chiropractic care. The doctor will then join you and talk with you about your health history, how the injury occurred and other pertinent information regarding your health. This will help him render the most effective care possible to help you heal and recover in the most efficient time possible.

The Doctor Asks some important questions of interest to Lakewood residents - Chiropractor Lakewood The Doctor Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Where do most Lakewood residents get their first vertebral subluxation complex?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of vertebral subluxation complex. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Lakewood newborn.
