Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  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. Martin Ressler to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Martin Ressler to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Martin Ressler will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition to have a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you.  However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may recommend 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

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

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

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

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. 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.  Most of our patients begin to see results from the very first adjustment due to our special gentle, yet effective alignment techniques.

Our office participates in many insurance programs.   We also accept auto accident and workers compensation cases.  To find out if your insurance covers chiropractic care, you can call our office directly and speak with one of our front office staff.  They will verify your insurance and call you back with your specific benefits.  For patients that have little or no chiropractic insurance coverage, flexible payment plans are available. You can also schedule a free no obligation consultation with Dr. Ressler to discuss your condition to determine if chiropractic care is right for you. .  

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a  wellness 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.  If you desire,  our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan.  The purpose  of our wellness program is for   you  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
