Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome
you as a member of our family. We will request you fill our patient
forms located in the New Patient Center. The paperwork provides us with
general information about yourself and your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with one of our wellness team to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Michelle Riegleman to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take 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. Michelle Riegleman will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
How can you help me?
How often do I need to come in?
What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Michelle Riegleman will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Michelle Riegleman will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Michelle Riegleman 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.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, the doctor may choose it appropriate for you 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.
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 and customized 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.
"Before coming to Dr. Riegleman, my daughter had numerous ear infections and chronic congestion. There was talk from her pediatrician about eventually putting tubes in her ears to help with the problem. Since our family has been getting regular adjustments, our daughter has not had to be on antibiotics at all for ear infections and her congestion had diminished. Our son has also benefited greatly from regular chiropractic care. He had a problem with bedwetting, but after some adjustments that stopped and he has not had to wear pull-ups to bed ever since. Our family has been so much less reliant on antibiotics and other medication since we've been getting regular chiropractic care."
