Our Approach

We strive to do everything in our power to help relieve our patient’s headaches, back or joint pain back. We are also committed to providing each patient customized lifestyle recommendations on how to avoid future episodes. Here’s some of what to expect at the first chiropractic visit, during which time Dr. Lloyd will complete a thorough consultation lasting which takes approximatley 30-45 minutes.

In preparation for consultation with the chiropractor, you will be asked to fill out forms that provide background information about the symptoms and condition. Types of questions the chiropractor might ask include:

  • When and how did the pain start?
  • Where is it located?
  • Is it a result of an injury?
  • What activities/circumstances makes it better?
  • What activities/circumstances makes it worse?

Patients are also usually asked to provide information on family medical history, any pre-existing medical conditions or prior injuries, and previous and current health providers and treatments.
