Your First Visit
We will greet you warmly and listen to your situation and history. We will complete a written case history and a thorough chiropractic examination, including any x-rays that may be necessary. X-rays are a very useful tool, but the need to take them is determined by your history and exam findings. We’ll explain how chiropractic care can help your specific issues. Your first visit takes about 45 minutes, including filling out the intake forms.
Your Second Visit
There will be a short introductory video that presents background information in your report. The findings from your initial examination are thoroughly explained to you, including findings from any x-rays that were taken. Recommendations for an initial course of care (typically three to six months) will be given. If you want to pursue care, you will receive your first adjustment. We will also discuss the cost of the recommendations and what your options may be.
If you agree to the treatment plan, you will receive your first chiropractic adjustment. This visit takes about 40 minutes including viewing the video.
After your initial course of care, you can choose to stop treatment, continue with weekly wellness care, or come in for maintenance care every three to six weeks.

Your first visit starts with a warm welcome and takes about 45 minutes, including intake forms. It includes a case history, a chiropractic examination, x-rays if your history and exam call for them, and an explanation of how chiropractic care can address your concerns.

Unless you’re a newborn, it’s likely your spinal issues have been developing long before your symptoms began. Addressing both the acute discomfort and the underlying causes takes time and a consistent care plan.
Not at all. After completing your initial care plan, how you continue is entirely up to you. Some people return only when symptoms flare up. Others prefer regular care—whether weekly through a monthly membership (minimum one-year commitment) or maintenance care every three to six weeks. Once people discover how simple, pleasant, and effective chiropractic care can be, they often choose not to wait until things get “bad” again.
Coverage varies by plan.

We do not accept assignment from auto insurance or workers’ compensation claims. Call (781) 641-2510 with any questions.
