What to Expect at Your First Chiropractic Visit
What Happens at Your First Chiropractic Visit?
If you've never been to a chiropractor before, it's natural to feel a bit nervous. At Victory Health Center in West Knoxville, we want you to feel comfortable and informed from the moment you walk through our doors. Here's exactly what you can expect.
Before Your Visit
Before your appointment, you'll fill out our new patient paperwork online. This includes your health history, current symptoms, and wellness goals. Having this completed ahead of time allows Dr. Jake Parrish to review your information and make the most of your visit time.
Step 1: A Warm Welcome
Our caring, energetic staff will greet you and show you around the office. We want you and your family to feel at home — you'll know where everything is and feel like part of our family right away.
Step 2: Your Consultation with Dr. Jake
Dr. Jake takes his time talking with you about your health history, current issues, and goals. This isn't a rushed appointment. He wants to understand the full picture of your health, including physical stressors, emotional stress, and chemical factors like nutrition and environmental toxins.
Step 3: Comprehensive Examination
Your examination is thorough and includes:
- Orthopedic testing
- Chiropractic evaluation
- Range of motion assessment
- Postural analysis
- Nervous system scans
- X-rays when clinically necessary
This comprehensive approach helps us understand exactly what's happening with your spine and nervous system, so we can create the most effective care plan for you.
Step 4: Understanding Your Results
At your second visit, Dr. Jake will review all of your exam results with you. He'll educate you about the underlying cause of your symptoms — not just what hurts, but why it hurts. This is when you'll receive your first adjustment.
Step 5: Your Personalized Care Plan
At your third visit, Dr. Jake will explain his detailed plan to help you achieve the results you're looking for. He'll cover costs, insurance coverage, and answer all of your questions so you can make an informed decision.
