If you’re wondering what to expect at chiropractor appointments, you’re not alone. Many people feel a mix of excitement and nervousness before their first chiropractic visit. This article will guide you through the chiropractic process, helping you feel more comfortable and prepared for your upcoming consultation.

What To Expect During Your First Chiropractor Visit?

During this first visit to Northside Chiropractor, you’ll meet Dr. McIver for a thorough examination. This may include various tests to assess your overall health and spinal condition. At our clinic, we use state-of-the-art CLA® Insight™ scanning technology to evaluate your nervous system function. This non-invasive approach includes:

  • Surface electromyography
  • Thermal scan
  • Heart rate variability test

These tests are safe and appropriate for everyone, including pregnant women and children. They provide valuable insights into your body’s function and help guide your personalized treatment plan.

Following the examination, Dr. McIver will take time to analyze the results carefully. You’ll then have a follow-up appointment to review these findings and discuss your personalized chiropractic care plan.

How Long is a Chiropractor Consultation?
