Pediatric Chiropractic Visit in Salinas
What To Expect On The First Visit
We’ll walk you through our process so you feel confident, informed, and prepared before an appointment.
- Our pediatric chiropractors will start your child's first visit at Back Pain, Neck Pain, & Headache Relief Center by asking you questions to gather information about your child's present condition and health history. We will also perform a physical examination and any necessary imaging or lab tests, such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-ray. When we gather all this information, it will enable our chiropractors to reach a diagnosis, which will, in turn, help determine whether chiropractic services are the best treatment for your child's condition.
- Next, the doctor will explain your child's condition and recommend a treatment plan. We will also review any risks and benefits of all procedures. The extent generally determines treatment, timing, or severity of your child's condition. If there are any underlying conditions or chronic pain present, your child will more than likely be required to have ongoing care to relieve symptoms. This care can range from weekly appointments to monthly sessions, depending on what you hope to gain from ongoing care.
- Then, our pediatric chiropractors will help you assess your child's overall health and discuss any goals you have. You may also receive advice on home care and lifestyle modifications, as well as on exercise and nutrition.
