The purpose of the 1st visit is to determine how we can help you with your health problems and concerns. If we determine that we can help you, we will give you our best recommendations. If we determine that we can't help you, rest assured, we will let you know and refer you to the appropriate healthcare professional.
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you. If not already completed, we will request that you fill out the New Patient Intake form. This paperwork provides us with important information regarding your health history and current condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Vasco or Dr. Sousa to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential solutions. This initial visit helps the doctor learn more about you, your condition, and expectations in order to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Vasco or Dr. Sousa will perform a complete chiropractic examination to determine if the cause of your health concerns is neurological damage to your spine. Any necessary neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. One of the benefits PROHealth Chiropractic has to offer is the use of revolutionary, space certified technology that objectively tests nerve function and muscle tension.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on the results of the examination, you may need to have X-rays taken. X-rays are extremely valuable in alerting the doctors of any serious conditions and also in developing the most effective care plan for you. Also, if we determine that we can help you, and we accept you as a patient in our office, X-rays give us information that will allow us to be very specific with your adjustments. This way, there is never any speculation when it comes to taking care of your body.
