If you are a first-time visitor at Pink Hill Chiropractic, you will need to give us some information about your background, medical history and the nature of your condition. This is so that we can provide you with the best possible care, tailored to your specific circumstances.
Paperwork
We will need you to fill out our patient intake forms that provide us with general information about you and your condition. Our staff is happy to assist you with the paperwork. You can also access our forms under the top tab labeled 'Patient Intake Forms'. Printing out these forms and filling them out before your first visit can speed up your process.
Consultation
During your first consultation with the doctor, you will discuss any health-related issues and concerns. You will also learn about potential treatment options.
History and Examination
In order to pinpoint the problem, the doctor will ask you a number of questions related to your condition. A variety of targeted tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to
what extent.
X-rays
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out a more serious condition or assist us in assessing the most effective treatment plan for you. X-rays are only taken when
necessary.
Same-day Treatment
Patients will generally undergo their first treatment on their first visit after the examination. This may include spinal adjustments and physical therapy.
Home Instructions
Before leaving, you will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat applications, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as
well as home exercises.
