What to expect at your first visit

Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment

Call our office or book online at your convenience. We’ll help you find a time that works best for you and answer any initial questions. Once scheduled, you’ll receive our new patient paperwork via email. The forms are quick and easy to complete.

Step 2: Intake with Dr. Griffin

At your initial visit, Dr. Griffin will begin with a focused consultation to discuss your health history, current concerns, and overall goals. This is followed by a movement and mobility assessment, including posture evaluation, range of motion testing, and specific orthopedic exams. These evaluations help provide a clear and accurate understanding of your musculoskeletal function, forming the foundation for a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Step 3: Adjustment and Therapeutic Exercises

Dr. Griffin will begin treatment the same day—if appropriate. This may include chiropractic adjustments to restore joint function and relieve discomfort, as well as therapeutic exercises tailored to your specific needs. These exercises are designed to improve mobility, support your recovery, and help you get the most out of your care from the very beginning.

Step 4: Follow-Up and Progress

After your initial visit, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled based on your individual needs and goals. Consistent care is key to achieving the best results, so we’ll check in regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your care to ensure you’re getting the best possible results.

FAQs

  • No, we are a cash-based practice and do not bill insurance. However, we can provide a superbill (itemized receipt) you can submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.

  • We accept cash, credit, debit, and Health Savings Account (HSA) cards. Payment is due at the time of service.

  • Most patients find adjustments to be gentle and relieving. You may hear a popping sound, which is normal and painless. If you prefer a lighter technique, we offer gentle alternatives.

  • The first visit typically lasts about 30 minutes to allow time for a comprehensive assessment and initial treatment. Follow-up visits are generally 15 minutes. If your treatment includes additional soft tissue therapies like cupping or IASTM, your appointment may be slightly longer to accommodate those services.
