What to Expect On Your First Visit
You will start your first appointment in a private consultation with Dr. Steffins. During your initial consultation, Dr. Steffins will assess your past and current health history in addition to discussing your health-related concerns. This visit is for Dr. Steffins to learn about you and determine how chiropractic can help you reach your ultimate health goals.
- Health History and Consultation
- Comprehensive Full-Spine Evaluation
- Computerized Nerve System Assessment
- Any Necessary X-Rays
Reviewing Test Results & Starting Care
When you are completed with the x-rays, you are finished with your first appointment. On your way out, you will schedule your next appointment to go over the test results with the doctor. Later that evening, Dr. Steffins will analyze your x-rays, review the exam results, and assemble an individualized care plan that he will share with you on your second visit.
On your second visit, Dr. Steffins will go over all of your test results. He will let you know what the problem is, what the action steps are to fix the issue, and how much it will cost. We want to make living a healthy lifestyle as realistic as possible, so if necessary, we can provide a convenient payment plan for you. We can also create a customized family chiropractic plan that is specific to you and your family, so that you can easily take care of the ones you love.
Phase 1: Relief Care
If you are in pain when you come into our Encinitas chiropractic office, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care
During the corrective phase of chiropractic care, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, which helps prevent further injury or pain. The goal of corrective or restorative chiropractic care is to help bring your body back to 100% functioning. It is typical to need chiropractic care or adjustments about 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once your body has fully healed and you are no longer experiencing back pain or other pain symptoms, it is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments to avoid further problems in the future. Usually, this phase of chiropractic care only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
