First Visit

---

After completing a few brief forms, you will meet with Dr. Bell. The  purpose of your consultation and examination is to see if chiropractic  can help you. If you are a candidate for Chiropractic care, a thorough  examination will help identify the cause of your problem. We have x-ray  capabilities at the office so the doctor can see your spine and what  might be causing your problems. Dr. Bell only uses X-rays when he feels  that it is absolutely necessary.  If you are a new patient, X-rays are  NOT mandatory to begin treatment.  You WILL be treated on the first  visit if you are a candidate for Chiropractic care.  Follow up  instructions will be tailored to your current condition and needs.

Patient response will vary by person, condition, and the duration of  the existing condition.  The day and night following the first  adjustment you might feel sore and sometimes the pain may feel worse.   This is normal.  Your body most likely has been in distortion for quite  some time and may resist the new changes at first.  We will address this  at your follow up appointments and make recommendations based on your  individual response.
