FAQs

What can I expect for my first appointment?

A new patient visit typically lasts an hour.  You may like to come in a few minutes early to fill out paperwork.  During the first visit, a doctor takes your history, performs an exam, reviews your patterns and causes, discusses your treatment plan, and treats you unless there is a contraindication to treatment.

What can I expect for a typical visit?

Typical visits are a half hour long and include chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture and corrective exercises as needed based on your treatment plan.

Once I start going to a Chiropractor, will I have to go forever?

The primary goal for each patient of CHAC is to learn a new pattern proficiently and to be able to maintain the pattern over the long term. If the patient is not able to maintain the new pattern they may choose to come back to us. Some patients decide to come in monthly for maintenance care, some patients come only during their active season (ie runners come alot in spring and summer and not much in fall and winter), and some patients come only when something new has happened or they know they are reverting to their old patterns.
