New Patients at Bodnar Chiropractic Center
Welcome to Bodnar Chiropractic Center! Your first visit sets the tone for everything after it. This is where we start figuring out what’s actually going on and how to get you moving again. Our team uses on-site X-rays and detailed musculoskeletal exams to pinpoint what’s causing your discomfort. Maybe you’re trying to avoid surgery. Maybe work has your back in knots, or you need care that’s safe during pregnancy. Either way, we’ll help you get back to feeling like yourself.
When you arrive, you’ll fill out patient forms covering your health history and current concerns. We want the full picture before you even sit down for your consultation.
What Happens During Your First Visit
Your initial appointment includes the following:
- Comprehensive chiropractic examination, including reflex, posture, spinal alignment, neurological, and orthopedic assessments
- X-rays (when clinically indicated) to evaluate your spine, identify misalignments, and help rule out other underlying issues
- Review of any recent X-rays, imaging, or chiropractic records you bring from another provider
- Discussion of your findings and a personalized care plan based on your needs and goals
- No treatment or next steps without your informed consent
Your Second Visit: Understanding Your Care Plan
This is where your doctor walks you through your exam and X-ray results: what they mean, how often you’ll need to come in, and what it costs. We’ll explain your diagnosis and lay out your options, which might include spinal adjustments, massage therapy, or something more advanced like shockwave or spinal decompression. If working alongside another healthcare provider would help your case, we’ll talk about that too.
Once the plan makes sense to you, we get started. That could mean gentle adjustments, focused soft tissue work, or other techniques aimed at restoring function and easing discomfort.
Before you head out, you’ll leave with a wellness program built around your recovery. This includes exercises, stretches, activity guidance, maybe some practical advice on posture or nutrition depending on what you need. We’re not just chasing symptoms. The goal is to help you build something that lasts.
