Patient Forms

Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family. If you have not filled out our on-line forms, we will request that you fill our patient forms.  The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

Consultation

After a short Introduction to Chiropractic video, you will have a consultation with Dr. Clif Clendenan to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Clif Clendenan to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Clif Clendenan will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions and assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.  Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Treatment

Based on the results of the history, exam, and x-rays, Dr Clif Clendenan will determine if chiropractic care will be beneficial to your health. Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, theraputic massage, and/or soft tissue therapies.  Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success.  Every body is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique wellness plan.  The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and
stress relief.

Report of Findings

On your second visit to our office, you will first see a short video, then Dr. Clif Clendenan will go over his examination and x-ray findings and explain your condition and how you will benefit from chiropractic care.

Reccommendations will be discussed regarding the types of treatment given, as well as their frequency and duration.  This is a one-on-one time with the doctor where you will have your questions answered.

After discussing the above information with you, you will begin your treatment plan and wellness program.
