What To Expect With Your First Visit
Our goal at Family Life Chiropractic is to relieve your pain so you can return to everyday activity. Dr. Jere is eager to work with you and answer any questions you may have during your initial meeting.
Here’s what you can expect from your first visit to our office in Clearwater, FL.
Your First Visit
Your first visit to our office in Clearwater, FL is meant to establish a working relationship with you.
For your convenience, we have our patient forms located online, so you can fill them out and bring them to your first appointment. After this, you’ll be led back for a private consultation with Dr. Jere.
Your first visit includes a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Jere, which consists of:
- Range of motion measurement
- Specific orthopedic and muscle testing
- Core strength and flexibility testing
- Palpation
- Balance test.
Dr. Jere will also evaluate your health and medical history to get a baseline of where you’re starting.
Our Promise to You
Our practice is devoted to providing our patients with affordable and convenient chiropractic care. Not only do we treat our patients with empathy, but we’re also prepared to assist with your chiropractic care for life!
Family Life Chiropractic wants you to achieve your chiropractic goals, which is why a personalized first-time visit is the best way to begin. Because no one’s care is ever the same, treatment may take as little as two to three appointments or as many as ten to fifteen to yield results.
Regular Chiropractic Visits
A typical visit to our office depends on the phase of care you’re in relief, corrective, or wellness care.
During relief care, chiropractic adjustments, nutritional counseling, and other therapies may be used depending on your individual needs. Corrective care consists of more physical treatments, such as stretching, strengthening, and posture-correcting exercises. Wellness care is optional to avoid further problems in the future.
Phase 1: Relief Care
Our priority is to help you feel better as soon as possible. We’ll perform adjustments and other chiropractic services and techniques to reduce symptoms and offer you the quickest relief.
Depending on your age, lifestyle, and severity of the condition causing you pain, it’s common for patients to need chiropractic care daily or a few times a week. However, everyone responds differently to chiropractic treatment. Dr. Jere will focus their efforts on the treatment schedule you’ll see the best results from.
Phase 2: Corrective Care
While patients may experience temporary pain relief, muscle and soft tissue damage can remain after symptoms improve. Corrective care stabilizes your spine and promotes complete healing, which helps prevent additional injury or pain.
When it comes to corrective care, you won’t need to visit our office as much as before. Dr. Jere encourages maintaining healthy habits, such as exercise and other at-home practices.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once the patient’s condition improves, periodic chiropractic adjustments are recommended. Regular wellness visits can help detect and resolve new concerns before they become an issue.
