Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, a member of our staff will welcome you  to Riverside Chiropractic.  We will request that you complete the health history form and disclosures.  For your convenience we have located the Health History form in the New Patient Center tab --> online forms --> Patient History-Required which has been uploaded as a pdf.  You can complete the Health History form prior to your appointment.  We can certainly provide this form in the office but we'll ask you come in 15 minutes prior to your schedule time.  This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.


Consultation

Next, you will have a one hour consultation with Dr. Waleed Hawa to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Waleed Hawa to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.  Most patients can expect to be treated during the initial visit.  We advise you bring comfortable clothing such as active wear or shorts, or we'll be happy to provide you with an exam gown.


Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Waleed Hawa 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 refer you for 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 misalignments and degeneration themselves.


Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Waleed Hawa will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions 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,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Waleed Hawa will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Waleed Hawa  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.


Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical 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  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
