Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Trent Stevens or Dr. Darcee Schmidt to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Trent Stevens and Dr. Darcee Schmidt to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Trent Stevens or Dr. Darcee Schmidt will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your overall motion, strength, 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 out to have X-rays taken.  X-rays are not required and most of the time are not medically necessary.  However, there are certain times we will want X-rays because they can alert us of  any serious spinal conditions.  If you have an previous X-rays or scans please bring them with you to your appointment. 

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Trent Stevens and Dr. Darcee Schmidt 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. Trent Stevens and Dr. Darcee Schmidt will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers.   Dr. Trent Stevens  and Dr. Darcee Schmidt will  provide the best treatment and 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 with Active Release Techniques.  Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.

Rehabilitation Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest an exercise rehabilitation 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.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized plan.  The purpose  of our rehabilitation program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
