What to Expect at Your First Visit
At West Maple Chiropractic & Wellness, we are dedicated to making your first visit comfortable, informative, and focused on your individual needs. Our goal is to help you feel welcome, understood, and confident in the care you receive from our experienced team.
Patient Forms
When you arrive, our friendly receptionist will greet you and help you get started. You will be asked to complete a few patient forms located in our New Patient Center. These forms provide valuable details about your health history, current concerns, and wellness goals so we can tailor your care to your specific needs.
Consultation
After completing your paperwork, you will meet with Dr. Scott Moon or Dr. Patrick Taplett for a one-on-one consultation. During this time, you can discuss your health concerns, symptoms, and any questions you may have about chiropractic care. This conversation helps our doctors better understand your condition and determine how chiropractic care can help you achieve lasting relief and improved wellness.
Examination
Following your consultation, your chiropractor will perform a comprehensive examination to evaluate your overall health and spinal function. This may include checking your reflexes, flexibility, posture, and other physical or orthopedic assessments. Every part of the examination will be explained to you, and nothing will be done without your consent.
Report of Findings
Once your consultation and examination are complete, your chiropractor will review the findings and explain them clearly. During this Report of Findings, you will have the opportunity to ask questions such as:
-
How can chiropractic care help me?
-
How often will I need to come in?
-
What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examination results, Dr. Taplett or Dr. Moon will recommend a personalized care plan designed to help you recover and maintain your health. If additional care from another provider is recommended, we will guide you through the next steps.
Treatment
At the end of your initial visit, you may choose to begin your first treatment. This may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, or other techniques depending on your condition and comfort level. Our treatments are interactive, and you are encouraged to share feedback or ask questions at any time.
Wellness Program
Before you leave, your chiropractor may recommend a wellness plan to support your recovery outside of the office. This plan may include simple stretches, home exercises, ice or heat therapy, and lifestyle tips to help you stay active and feel your best.
If you would like continued support, our wellness team can work with you to develop long-term habits that promote better posture, balanced nutrition, regular movement, and a positive mindset.
At West Maple Chiropractic & Wellness, our mission is to help you move better, feel better, and live better — starting with your very first visit.
