If you've never been to a chiropractor before, the first visit can feel like a leap. We get it. Here's exactly what to expect so you can walk in knowing what's ahead.
1. A simple welcome
When you arrive, you'll be greeted personally — usually by Dr. Bittner. Our office isn't a big corporate setup. It's a small, calm, welcoming space where you'll be treated like a neighbor.
2. A conversation about your body
Before anything else, we talk. What hurts? When did it start? Any previous injuries, surgeries, or accidents? The more we know, the better we can help.
3. A physical evaluation
Dr. Bittner will do a thorough physical exam — checking your range of motion, posture, and spinal alignment. This is where we figure out exactly what's going on and what will help.
4. Warm-up and prep
We typically use hot packs and pulse therapy to prep the muscles around the area we're going to adjust. Patients often tell us this is their favorite part.
5. The adjustment
Adjustments are precise, targeted, and usually quick. Most patients feel relief almost immediately. Nothing is done without explanation — you'll always know what's about to happen and why.
6. A plan for what's next
We'll talk about what we found, how we can help, and what a reasonable care plan might look like. There's no pressure to commit to endless appointments — we build plans around your goals, not ours.
Many patients tell us they came in skeptical and left already feeling better. Your first visit is designed to give you real relief — not just a sales pitch.
What to bring
- A valid ID and insurance info (if relevant — though most visits don't need it)
