Patient Forms
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 health.
Consultation
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Kylene Volz to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential care plan options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Kylene Volz to learn more about you, your health and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Kylene Volz will perform a complete chiropractic examination that includes testing the range of motion throughout your spine, performing a postural and orthopedic examination, and palpating your spine. 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 of a patient. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective care plan for you. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves. At Volz Family Chiropractic we have digital x-ray equipment which will allow the patient to take home a copy of their own x-rays on a CD for their records.
The second visit includes the "Report of Findings"
Once all the information from the consultation, Chiropractic examination, and x-rays have been performed, Dr. Kylene Volz will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:
- Can you help me?
- What do you recommend that I do to get better?
- How much is it going to cost?
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. Kylene Volz will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. Kylene Volz believes we can help you, we will recommend Chiropractic care and a wellness program.
Chiropractic care
Patients will generally be provided with their first Chiropractic adjustment at the conclusion of their report of findings, as Dr. Volz has had time to review your consultation, the results of your exam and x-rays and come up with the best care plan for you. Care 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 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.
