What to Expect at Your First Chiropractic Appointment

Finding a chiropractor near you that you can trust is crucial for getting the best holistic and non-invasive care for your chronic pain or injury. Chiropractic Associates in Wichita Falls, TX, provides a wide variety of chiropractic care for the whole family, including treatments from our sports chiropractor and pediatric chiropractor. We also offer physical exams to ensure you get the support you need to feel your best. We are here to tell you what to expect from your first chiropractic care appointment.

Your First Appointment

We will ask you to fill out some paperwork so we can get a better understanding of your specific needs when you first come into our office. We will ask about your medical history, past surgeries, and other information that will help our chiropractor work to develop a treatment plan tailored to you.

Your chiropractor will answer any questions that you have about your treatment. You can have your first chiropractic care session immediately if you and your chiropractor decide that moving forward with treatment is right for you.

Your Adjustment

Your chiropractor will talk with you about chiropractic adjustment and ensure you are comfortable through every step of the process. You will lie on the treatment table, and your chiropractor will adjust your head, neck, shoulders, and spine. Doing this corrects any misalignments that cause pain and discomfort. Adjustments can also improve your range of motion and promote your body’s natural healing ability.

You may hear a popping noise or feel a pop within your joints, but you should not feel pain during treatment. Be sure to tell your chiropractor if something feels uncomfortable. They can adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Some people begin to feel better immediately after their first chiropractic care session, while others need several sessions to feel relief. Your chiropractor will likely give you exercises to do at home between sessions and suggest lifestyle changes that will help you get the most out of your chiropractic care. 

Other Chiropractic Care Options

Your chiropractor may recommend other treatment options depending on the type and severity of your pain or injury. Some of these treatments include myofascial release, spinal decompression, therapeutic massage, or trigger point therapy. Your chiropractor will discuss the treatment option that best suits your needs. They may also use a combination of these techniques to achieve maximum pain relief and wellness.
