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 condition.

Consultation

Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Craig Ellison to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Ellison to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care meets your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Ellison will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. 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 treatment plan for you.  Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

Once all the information and examinations have been performed, a complete report of finding will be scheduled to answer the three most popular questions: 

1. Can you help me?
2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
3. 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. Craig Ellison will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. Craig Ellison believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.

Treatment

Following an examination, and report of findings, Dr. Ellison will make recommendations to get you back on track.  The next step is up to you.  Our goal is to get you started on the path of relief as soon as possible - often that can begin the same day.  We respect your time and our well trained staff will ensure your visit is efficient and a pleasant experience.  Our expertise in Activator Methods ensures your adjustments are comfortable with pinpoint accuracy and most of all effective.  www.Activator.com
