Your Second Visit

On your report visit we explain what we found and how we may be able to help you.

On your second visit, we report to you the information we acquired on your first visit. Typically, we address the most common concerns of most new patients, for example:

  • What is the cause of your problem?
  • Can chiropractic help?
  • How long will it take?
  • How much will it cost?
  • Will my insurance cover it?

This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be later the same day or the following day. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:

  • Reduces the length of your first visit
  • Gives us time to correlate our findings
  • Avoids overloading you with too much information 

In certain situations, and in the professional judgment of our doctors, we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.

 Dr. Tom Asks some important questions of interest to Ann Arbor residents - Chiropractor Ann Arbor Dr. Tom Asks...

Do chiropractors prescribe medications for the pain?
No. Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to better health. Instead, we rely on natural methods. We can show you how to use ice to control pain. When properly applied, ice can have an analgesic effect without the unwanted and sometimes dangerous effects of pain medications.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Ann Arbor chiropractic practice.
