Will I get an adjustment on my first visit?

“Will I get an adjustment on my first visit?” This is a common question
that new patients ask when booking their first appointment at the Active
Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre. The short answer is no. Why not?
Here at Active Family Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, we care.

We care about the bigger picture of the patients’ health and wellness. We
care about taking every precaution to ensure the patients’ safety. We care
about educating our patients about their spine and nervous system.

Assuring the best care for our patients means the initial visit will
consist of both consultation and examination. During the consultation,
patients discuss health-related problems and concerns. Our chiropractors
also take this time to educate patients on how their health concerns may
relate to their spinal health. This consultation is where your chiropractor
learns more about you. They want to learn about your condition, and
expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Following the consultation, your chiropractor will perform a complete
chiropractic examination. This looks like testing your reflexes and
flexibility. Performing other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural,
and physical tests as well. This examination is essential to a patient’s
chiropractic journey. Your Mississauga chiropractor needs to be able to
determine how well a patient’s joints are moving since these are the key
areas they will be using Chiropractic adjustments. Through this
examination, our chiropractors take the duty of care and are proactive to
ensure every patients' safety during their future Chiropractic adjustments.

Depending on each patient, our chiropractor may also choose to take X-rays.
X-rays help develop the most effective care plan and alert us of any
serious spinal conditions. It's amazing once people see their X-rays up
close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and
degeneration themselves.

At the Active Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, we want to protect our
patients’ spinal health through these comprehensive first visits. Patients
looking for a chiropractor in Mississauga can find many options. However,
patients that are looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares for their
health, well-being, safety, education, and future can confidently book with
our chiropractors at Active Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre.
