Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms. They are located in the New Patient tab if you would like to fill those out ahead of time. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition. At that time we will also take a copy of your insurance card (if you have one) and a form of identification.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Langel, D.C. to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Langel, D.C. to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Langel, D.C. will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical testing will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Langel, D.C. will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
Can you help me?
What will my care consist of?
How long will it take to get better?
How much will it cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Langel, D.C. will discuss recommendations and inform you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Langel, D.C. will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
After finishing your examination, Dr. Langel will determine if an adjustment or a physiotherapy would be beneficial that first day. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.
Wellness Program
Once your treatment plan has concluded and you and Dr. Langel, D.C. feel you have reached your goals, he will discuss wellness care with you. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of your wellness plan is to maintain good spinal alignment which allows your nervous system to function at it's highest potential!
