PATIENTS FIRST VISIT
What to expect on your first visit
At Essence Chiropractic & Wellness, we strive to make your experience as comfortable and family-friendly as possible. Feel free to bring your little ones or partner along to your appointment. We have plenty of toys and snacks to keep kids entertained, and our team is always here to help make your visit as smooth as possible.
What to Expect During Your First Visit:
Your initial appointment will last approximately 45 minutes and includes a consultation with the doctor to discuss your medical history and current concerns, a thorough examination, and recommendations for treatment. Please arrive on time so we can dedicate the full session to your care.
Imaging Policy:
We do not perform X-rays in our office, as 90% of our patients are children or expecting mothers, and radiation exposure is unnecessary and potentially harmful. If imaging is needed—such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or ultrasounds—we will refer you to a trusted imaging facility where you can use your insurance. Once reviewed by a radiologist, the results will be shared with you by our chiropractors.
Personalized Care Plans:
Our chiropractors create customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Treatment will be explained and provided on the same day as your consultation. This may include the Webster Technique, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release therapies (e.g., Graston therapy or PiezoWave), or needle work. While we don’t offer memberships, we do provide bundle and family packages to serve your whole family.
Payment Options:
We accept HSA/FSA cards, cash, debit, and credit cards. Although we do not accept major medical insurance, we can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Family bundle pricing and packages are also available for existing patients.
Additional Notes:
• If you are taking any medications, please bring a list with you for our records.
• Nutritional Consultations: These are conducted online via TeleHealth. Please download, complete, and submit your forms prior to your consultation. Be sure to include any past blood work or test results, as well as a two-week food diary, to help us better assess your health needs.
Our goal is to provide holistic, effective care for your entire family in a welcoming environment!
