Whether it’s your first experience with chiropractic care or you’re exploring a new approach to health, we’re here to make your first visit to MDemetriou Chiropractic a comfortable and valuable experience. Here's what you can expect when you step through our doors for your first appointment.
Step 1: A Warm Welcome and Comprehensive Consultation
When you arrive, Dr. Demetriou will welcome you and provide a brief overview of his approach. We’ll begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your health concerns, lifestyle, and goals. This discussion helps us understand the full picture of your health so we can customize care that addresses your specific needs.
During the consultation, we’ll talk through your medical history and any symptoms you’re experiencing. This is a collaborative process, so feel free to ask questions and share details about your health journey.
Step 2: A Precise Examination and X-Ray Analysis
To provide the most accurate and effective treatment, we use a highly detailed diagnostic process, including an examination and X-rays. At MDemetriou Chiropractic, we believe that X-rays on the first visit are essential. This imaging allows us to assess your spinal alignment in detail, identify any true subluxations, and avoid adjusting areas that may be compensating for underlying issues.
The Gonstead method, our specialized approach, emphasizes precision in adjustments, so we only address areas that require correction. Our X-ray analysis ensures that we’re targeting the root of the problem without over-adjusting.
Step 3: What to expect your Personalized Treatment Plan
After reviewing your X-rays, we’ll discuss your personalized treatment plan. This plan is tailored to your specific spinal health needs and focuses on optimizing your nervous system function to enhance overall well-being. We’ll also provide information on what to expect from your adjustments, including any immediate and long-term benefits.
We encourage you to share your questions or concerns at every step of this process. Our goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and ready to embrace the benefits of chiropractic care.
Step 4: Your First Adjustment
If appropriate, we may proceed with your first adjustment. Using the Gonstead method, each adjustment is gentle, specific, and designed to alleviate pain and restore proper spinal function. You may notice a release of tension or improved mobility right after your adjustment, though the full benefits often become more apparent with continued care.
Step 5: Guidance for Self-Care and Next Steps
Your healing journey doesn’t end in the clinic. We’ll provide you with recommendations for stretches, posture, and lifestyle adjustments that complement your chiropractic care. These tips are designed to support and maintain the improvements achieved during your adjustments.
