For Providers

For Patients

Upon greeting you and performing a COVID-19 screening, we will have you fill out new patient paperwork, which can be found below. Then, the chiropractic assistant or provider will see you next for an examination, and typically, treatment on first visit. If you are visiting us for an injury, we will assist you in filling out any necessary paperwork as well.
If your condition requires we get X-rays or an MRI, your provider will order that as well. If your condition requires co-treatment with another doctor or professional, we will make that referral as well.
We typically function as your “quarterback”, organizing and coordinating your care to achieve the best outcomes for you.
We welcome you and look forward to seeing you fully recovered and back to your life!
