What to Expect at Burlington Chiropractic
Check-In and Paperwork
Once your appointment is booked, our receptionist will be waiting to welcome you. We ask every new patient to complete paperwork so we can understand your complete health picture. You can save time by downloading your forms in advance from our online forms page.
Your paperwork will ask about your family history, because some health issues can be hereditary (though that does not mean they cannot be improved). It will also cover your daily habits, past injuries, and medical history. The more we know, the more we can help.
Testing and Imaging
Depending on your condition, our doctors may recommend imaging. Most new patients receive digital X-rays so we can see your spine clearly. In many cases, we also use Dynamic Digital Radiography to see your spine in motion and digital spinal nerve testing to measure nerve function. Imaging is generally needed only at the start of care or if your condition changes.
Your Examination
During your exam, you will be asked to move in different ways and possibly lie down so the doctor can assess your posture, range of motion, and areas of tension or tenderness. Be sure to share everything you are experiencing, including pain, numbness, headaches, or other symptoms, even if they seem unrelated.
Reviewing Your Results and Care Plan
After your evaluation, our compassionate chiropractor will explain your findings and discuss your options. Together, you will decide what feels right and create a plan to help you reach your goals. Learn more about our complete evaluation on our Our Process page, or read our Your First Visit guide.
Ongoing Visits
As your care continues, we monitor your progress with objective testing so you can see how your body is responding. Many patients also benefit from corrective exercises and lifestyle advice that support their results between visits.
