New Patients at Vernon Chiropractic and Massage
Your First Visit – Chiropractic
After a warm welcome from our friendly, helpful staff you will fill out a complete patient history form. This will alert us to any special needs or concerns that you may have.
One of our compassionate chiropractic assistants will then go over your health history with you in more detail and enter the information into your chart. Next, Dr. Salmon will review your current and past health problems with you and explain how chiropractic works, answering any questions you may have. He’ll complete a physical exam, focussing on your posture and how well you can (or can’t) move. Dr. Salmon will explain his suggested treatment for you and will only proceed with an adjustment once your concerns have been addressed and you are comfortable proceeding.
Following your adjustment Dr. Salmon will create a personalized treatment plan that may include stretching or mobility guidance and referrals to other health professionals, in addition to chiropractic care.
Subsequent Visits – Chiropractic
Subsequent visits begin with a check-in with the chiropractic assistant who will record your progress, any questions or concerns you have and offer a complimentary warm up massage. They will relay the information to Dr. Salmon when he enters and he will proceed with the chiropractic treatment and offer any further guidance.
Your First Visit – Massage
After completing your online new patient intake form your Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) will review it prior to your first visit. You can expect approximately the first ten minutes of your first session to be spent discussing your health history, your concerns and answering any questions you may have prior to receiving your massage treatment. Following your massage your RMT will touch base with you, make any home care suggestions and may refer you to additional healthcare practitioners.
I love the staff here! I always feel comfortable and always get a warm welcome. I would recommend to anybody.
Getting Started
We also believe strongly in referral. If your problem is not mechanical, or can be helped better by another health practitioner, or in conjunction with them, we will let you know and send you to the right place.
