Your First Visit to the Chiropractor

Are you looking to get 2025 off to a healthy start? Scheduling your first visit to the chiropractor puts you on a path toward better health and well-being. Knowing what to expect during your first visit and what to do after your first adjustment can help you prepare to fully enjoy the benefits of chiropractic care. 

What to Expect When You Visit Your Chiropractor

During your first visit to the chiropractor, you’ll be greeted warmly by Healthy Life Chiropractic’s friendly staff. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable right from the start. You’ll need to fill out some new patient intake forms, or you can get a headstart and fill out your forms ahead of time. 

Next comes a thorough consultation. You’ll discuss your health history and any specific concerns or symptoms you’re experiencing. This is an important step that helps us understand your unique situation and what we can do for you.

After the consultation, a comprehensive physical examination will take place. We’ll assess your posture, range of motion, and overall spinal health. This hands-on evaluation is crucial for tailoring treatment just for you. In some cases, additional tests like X-rays may be recommended to gain deeper insights into your spine's condition and ensure the safety of treatment. 

Once all information is gathered, your chiropractor will go over a report of findings and present a personalized treatment plan that addresses your needs effectively. This could include different chiropractic techniques. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what lies ahead in your journey toward better health.

From here, you can begin receiving regular adjustments to help relieve pain, correct underlying issues, and put you on a path to holistic wellness. 

What to Do After a Chiropractic Visit

After your chiropractic adjustment, it's essential to follow a few simple steps to maximize the benefits of your treatment. Start by giving yourself time to relax. Your body just went through an adjustment, and it might need some downtime.

Stay hydrated throughout the day. Drinking water helps flush out toxins that may have been released during your session. It also aids in muscle recovery.

Gentle stretching can be beneficial too. Focus on areas that feel tight or sore but avoid any intense workouts for at least 24 hours post-visit.

Pay attention to how you feel after the treatment. Keeping a journal can help track any changes or improvements over time. And if you begin to feel flu-like symptoms, don’t fret—you may be experiencing the symptoms of toxic release.

Maintain communication with us about anything unusual you experience after the appointment—this feedback is vital for tailoring future treatments effectively.

Patient Reviews

"Very pleased with the practice. The service is excellent and everyone seems to truly care about you as a person first. Most businesses see customers or money walking in, but these practitioners love what they do. It shows."

- Patty Uzar

"I've been with Healthy Life for many years. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The services offered are very beneficial to my wellness routine. I receive massages and adjustments regularly. They offer many packages and sales that makes it affordable for me. I have recently tried the hyperbaric chamber for both recovery and general health. This is has been really helpful since I exercise often and intensely. I have also noticed an improvement in my brain fog which comes from normal aging and day to day stress. Dr. Rob and Dr. Tina are very good chiropractors who make sure they are providing a complete wellness exam and service. I continue to maintain a healthy body and recover quickly from my day to day activities. Overall, I would recommend Healthy Life Chiropractic."

- Rachelle Prevost

"I absolutely love Healthy Life! The staff is wonderful and helpful! The doctors are amazing! I hurt my back a few months ago exercising, and nothing seemed to help! I went in for a routine visit, and explained. I was consistent with my adjustments, muscle stim and massage and within a few weeks, I am back to exercising without pain! I am a Flight Attendant, so closing overhead bins and pushing a heavy cart are necessary for my job, so I appreciate them keeping my healthy and not missing work! My foot levelers are a game changer! The best investment!

My update yesterday validated what my body told me! I am back to almost 100% You will love them!"

- Melissa Beach

"I am very grateful for the care I receive from the entire staff and doctors at HLC! They are very attentive to my specific health, well-being, and pain relief needs. I take advantage of the fact that I can go for chiropractic care, massage, therapy, supplements, pain relief, and more. It’s great to enter the practice and know that I will be treated like family."

- Jan Tardie

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

- Erica Payne

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

- Cindy Chaisson

“The online store is wonderful. It is very convenient for those busy and always on the go. I love all the purchase options. From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

–Vermillion Himes

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
