Welcome to the Office!
Zitel Family Chiropractic is excited to get you feeling your best so you can lead a happy and healthy lifestyle.
When you get to the office, we’ll have a little bit of new patient paper work for you to fill out, or you can fill it out before you come to your appointment here. Also, please make sure to bring your insurance card with you if you plan on using insurance.
Physical Exam: The physical exam typically includes a variety of assessments, such as range of motion tests, palpation, reflex testing, muscle strength comparisons, and neurological and orthopedic tests focused on the main complaint. Dr. Jeff will also take x-rays in our in-house x-ray suite.
Treatment Plan: Following the assessments, Dr. Jeff will develop a treatment plan that takes into account:
- The extent of your injury or irritation
- Your general health
- The condition of your spine as affected by age and previous injury
- Your goals
Your goals of treatment will result from the discussion you have with Dr. Jeff. Many people seek simple relief of pain or discomfort, while others want to begin a regimen of ongoing care meant to improve their general health.
Report of Findings: The next step is to schedule a follow-up visit where Dr. Jeff will provide you with your Report of Findings of your x-rays. During this visit, he will tell you the status of your condition and discuss the recommended Treatment Plan. Please ask questions. As in any professional-patient relationship, trust and mutual understanding are vitally important.
