Expect Nothing But
Our Very Best!
Once you arrive to the office, Ami, the office manager, will greet you. You'll be handed a leather binder and in it will be a brief 4-page health questionnaire and a compilation of patient testimonials.This questionnaire allows Dr. Spear, a Tucson Chiropractor, to get a detailed background of you, information about your problem/complaint and what you're expecting from care.
Ami will escort you to our consultation room to fill out the short questionnaire. Once Dr. Spear, the chiropractic physician, examines the paperwork and understands everything about your past, Ami will introduce him to you. A 10-15 minute consultation will take place between you and Dr. Spear, followed by a thorough 15-20 minute chiropractic examination.
The examination will reveal any neurological and/or musculoskeletal problems relating to your complaints/problems. Assuming your prior history & examination reveal no risks associated with the chiropractic adjustment/manipulation, Dr. Spear will adjust you.
Your initial treatment typically involves a specific chiropractic adjustment, some mild stretching, concluded by a 15-minute Electrical Muscle Stimulation treatment to loosen and relax the injured soft-tissue. Following the completed treatment, Dr. Spear will escort you to the front desk, explain and give you information pertaining to your problem, as well as instruct you on controlling your pain until the follow-up visit.
Ami will schedule your follow-up visit, hand you an appointment card and office brochure. She'll collect any due payments and then remind you of your next appointment (typically 2 days from the initial visit).
Typically the second day of care involves a "Recommended Action Plan," where all the details of your treatment plan are explained. The treatment plan is based upon your individual complaints, examination results and treatment goals!
