What To Expect
At Adapt, we take a thorough, personalized approach to identify the root cause of your health concerns. Our method may feel different from your traditional healthcare experience, so let us walk you through what it’s like to be our patient:
Step 1: Fill Out Intake Form
At Adapt Spine Centre, we believe in getting to know you before your first visit. Start by completing our intake form, which helps us gain a deeper understanding of your health history, including any past injuries, ailments, or traumas. This allows our team to assess your unique needs and ensure we’re the right fit to support your journey to better health.
Step 2: Clinic Tour
When you arrive for your first appointment, we will warmly welcome you with a brief tour of our clinic. This will help you feel comfortable with our space, our team, and how we operate to provide the best care for you.
Step 3: Neurological Scans
1) Thermal Spinal Scan — measures nervous system function controlling organs, glands, and blood vessels.
2) Surface EMG — evaluates muscle activity supporting and moving your spine.
3) Pulse Wave Profiler — analyzes heart rate variability to assess adaptability.
These scans are repeated at the end of your care plan to track progress and compare results.
Step 4: Consultation
During your consultation, our doctor will discuss your health history, concerns, and goals, followed by a physical examination. This step allows us to gain a complete understanding of your needs and helps us to create a personalized plan to help you achieve optimal health and wellness.
Step 5: X-Rays
Our doctor may recommend postural X-rays to assess spine curvatures, hip alignment, fractures, arthritis, or contraindications. X-rays help our doctor provide precise, tailored treatments.
“To see is to know. Not to see is to guess. And we won’t guess with your health!”
PLEASE NOTE: Pregnant patients and infants will not receive x-rays.
Step 6: Report of Findings
During your second appointment, our doctor will go over your x-rays and exam results with you, and give you your first adjustment. He will also explain what his course of action will be in treating you, and prescribe you a treatment plan.
Step 7: First Adjustment
Once you have a clear understanding of your care recommendations, our doctor will proceed with your first chiropractic adjustment. This initial adjustment is designed to start addressing the underlying issues identified during your assessment, getting you started on your journey to better health. The treatment portion of this appointment will give you a preview of what your future visits will typically involve.
Step 8: Book Appointments
The final step in our new patient process is scheduling your appointments at the front desk with one of our chiropractic assistants. They’ll help you book according to our doctor’s treatment plan and your availability. You can choose to schedule all the way through to your re-exam or book appointments as you go. Future appointments can also be made by calling the clinic or sending us an email.
