What to Expect- Initial Visit
-
Health History Review
During your initial visit we will review the health questionnaire that you completed prior to your appointment. This is a foundational step in chiropractic care, providing valuable insight into your medical background, current health status, and any relevant symptoms or concerns. During this process, we will ask questions about your medical history, previous injuries or surgeries, family history of health conditions, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and any medications or supplements you may be taking. This information helps Dr. Rhamy better understand your unique health needs and develop an appropriate care plan tailored to your individual circumstances and goals.

Neurological Assessment
After reviewing your health questionnaire with you we will then conduct a neurological assessment using CLA Insight Scan technology (neuroThermal) to provide a visual as to what is happening inside of your nervous system. This involves you wearing an open-back gown and then utilizing the neuroThermal instrument to measure and analyze patterns of heat distribution along your spine. This non-invasive process allows Dr. Rhamy to assess nerve function and detect areas of potential dysfunction or imbalance. By identifying areas of abnormal thermal activity, he can gain valuable insights into your nervous system health and tailor your care plan accordingly, aiming to restore optimal function and alleviate symptoms.

X-Rays and Analysis
Once your neurological assessment is complete, Dr. Rhamy will take your full spine x-rays. This process involves capturing detailed images of your entire spinal column, from the cervical spine (neck) to the lumbar spine (lower back), including the pelvis. These x-rays provide valuable information about your spinal alignment, curvature, and any potential abnormalities or injuries, aiding Dr. Rhamy in developing a specific plan for you. These images will be displayed on screen during each of your appointments for Dr. Rhamy to refer to ensuring specificity every visit. After x-rays, Dr. Rhamy will complete the remainder of the Gonstead Method of analysis- click here.
Pregnant patients and children under the age of 9 years old will not receive x-rays.
What to Expect- Follow Up Visit

Doctor's Assessment
After your initial visit Dr. Rhamy will craft a personalized care plan for you with your health history, neurological assessment results, x-ray images, health goals, and lifestyle in mind. By analyzing this comprehensive information, Dr. Rhamy tailors care strategies to address specific spinal issues, aligning with your goals, and considering your unique lifestyle factors. This holistic approach ensures that you receive individualized care, optimizing your path towards improved spinal health and overall well-being.

Care Plan Presentation
When you arrive for your follow up visit, Dr. Rhamy will explain the findings from your assessment and outline a tailored care plan that includes adjustments, lifestyle modifications, re-assessments, and any other relevant interventions. We empower you to make a decision that will help you to achieve your health goals while also understanding that everyone’s financial situation is unique. For this reason, we provide multiple payment options, and also offer discounts for military affiliated, teachers, and first responders.

Adjustment!
Once you make your care plan decision it’s time for your adjustment. This adjustment will count as the first adjustment in your care plan. For patients who need time to think about a care plan decision, or talk to a partner or spouse, we absolutely understand. You will be provided with a copy of the care plan and all relevant educational materials. You can still absolutely receive an adjustment this day and will be responsible for satisfying our pay-per-visit rate.
