During your first visit to our office, you’ll be asked to fill out a health history form. The doctor will then meet with you to discuss your health history, and explain the chiropractic approach that will be used to restore and maintain your health.

After your consultation, Dr. Bean will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

We will then take a series of x-rays. We use these to determine how to correct your specific misalignment, also known as a subluxation. They also help us to understand how your body has responded to being out of alignment over time...and most importantly how to correct your misalignment.

We will sit down to go over the results of your imaging and discuss recommendations for your specific misalignment and the care that will bring you wellness.

After the doctor has studied your health history, analyzed your films, and correlated your examination findings, she will review the X-rays with you and discuss expectations about your relief and recovery.
