Chiropractic Care Process

Your First Visit to Lighthouse Chiropractic

Leave your stress and worries at the door. This is a no pressure environment and we are here for you! At Lighthouse, we are transparent about realistic expectations, costs, and processes. When you step through our doors we want you to feel comfortable and at home, like family.

New Patient Appointment:

STEP 1: IN-DEPTH CONSULTATION

At Lighthouse, we realize that the body is an interconnected system. During your first visit we take this into consideration as we go through an in-depth history looking for the root cause of your condition. It may stem from any combination of physical stressors, emotional stressors, or toxic stressors in your daily environment. During this time we would also love for you to share your health and wellness goals with us and how we can work together to achieve them.

STEP 2: NEUROLOGICAL SCANS

We utilize advanced technology to assess nervous system function in our office. These neurological scans show us unhealthy stress patterns that affect the performance of the entire nervous system. When there is stress and inflammation on the nervous system and spine, it leads to many different health issues. These scans are essential in tracking improvements in spinal health and nervous system function while under our care. They are not invasive and they don’t emit radiation. If indicated, our doctors may refer for x-ray or advanced imaging.

Report of Findings and Care Recommendations:

At this visit, we will sit down and connect the dots between your case history, exam, and neurological scans. We will explain how all of these things are tied into the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. Next, we will give recommendations on how you can start getting your health back. At Lighthouse, our Doctors specialize in combining chiropractic with functional medicine. Therefore, based on case history gathered during the first appointment, we may recommend functional medicine in addition to chiropractic care. After that, you are in the driver’s seat and will decide how you would like to proceed with care.

Follow Up Visits:

For your return visits the doctor will spend 5-10 minutes with you for your adjustment. With these adjustments, our goal is to take the physical stress off of the nervous system, decrease inflammation, and allow the body to begin to recover and heal itself. On average, our patients come in 1-2 visits per week over the course of their care plan until spreading out their visits more for wellness care. The adjustments build upon each other every visit. For the best results it is important to stay consistent with your appointments.
