This initial visit is designed for Dr. Michael Griffo to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Depending on your specific condition, we may take 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.

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Michael Griffo will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

• How can you help me?
• How often do I need to come in?
• What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Michael Griffo will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Michael Griffo  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.

 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.

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a  wellness program  to incorporate home 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.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized self care plan.  Our goal is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
