Patient Forms

Upon arrival, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your current condition.

Consultation

You will have an initial consultation with Dr. Van Skyhock to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr.  Van Skyhock to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Van Skyhock 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.

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 misalignment's and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr.  Van Skyhock will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions you may have including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What will my treatment cost?

After reviewing your health history, exam findings and X-rays, Dr. Van Skyhock will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr.  Van Skyhock will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

At the conclusion of your report of findings, you can choose to experience your first adjustment and start your journey to improved health. This may include spinal adjustments, spine 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, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program, is for you and your family to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
