Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a new patient.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Aaron Hoffmann to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Aaron Hoffmann to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Aaron Hoffmann will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests 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 send you out for 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. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

The report of findings will be scheduled on your second visit.

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Aaron Hoffmann will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me with my condition?
2. What is the treatment plan for my condition?
3. What can I expect from treatment?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Aaron Hoffmann will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Aaron Hoffmann  will  provide the best  treatment and maintenance program for your needs.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, most patients will receive their first treatment at second scheduled appointment after their report of findings.  It is up to the Doctors discretion if treatment is appropriate on the first visit.  This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage.  Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.

At home program

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest an at home program  to incorporate outside of treatment.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.
