You may have asked some of the following questions when trying to make a decision:
“What was your experience?”

Here are the Top 7 Questions about your first appointment at Form Chiropractic.

3. Are chiropractic adjustments painful?
Under normal circumstances, adjustments are painless. If you are suffering from significant muscle spasm minor discomfort may occur. There are many different ways to adjust the spine and the extremities.
We choose the most effective technique for you. Our goal is to keep you comfortable and to reduce your discomfort during an appointment.
Your treatment will include non-invasive spinal manipulations and corrective mobility exercises. Adjustments are all designed to help the body heal itself.
4. How many chiropractic appointments are necessary for a complete treatment plan?
The amount of appointments in your treatment plan will vary depending on you:
Age
Diagnosis
Present symptoms
There are three phases of care:
Corrective Care to provide relief of your major symptoms.
Rehab Care to focus on muscle strength, movement, and healing injured tissues.
Preventative Care to maintain mobile joints and prevent injury.
We want to help you stay healthy by addressing small problems before they become serious. Everyone responds to treatment in their own way. The following are factors that generally prolong treatment include, but not limited to:
Relative Health of the Patient
Age
Current Condition
Symptoms
Systemic Conditions
5. How long is a chiropractic appointment? Can you come in over your lunch break or swing by after work?
The answer is yes.
We recommend planning for 30 minutes of your day. Treatment appointments include chiropractic adjustments, pre- and post-therapies. Any Examinations, re-Examinations, and special technique appointments are 50 minutes.
My goal is to help you feel your best and keep you out of my office. We will discuss what you are doing now and what changes you need to make to improve your overall health.
There is no quick fix.
Chiropractic will not fix you overnight. Small preventive and corrective changes over time will lead to a big impact on your health.
6. What do you wear at your first chiropractic appointment?
We recommend that you dress comfortably. No need to dress to impress. We want you to be comfortable so you can get the maximum benefits from your treatment.
You can come in your work clothes, street clothes, or what you choose to wear at home. Your clothes are on for your entire chiropractic appointment. We do not ask you to take your clothes off. Several women want to know if they can wear their bra for treatment. Your bra does not interfere with treatment.
