Receptionist greeting a patient.

Your first appointment will take about 60 minutes. All you have to bring with you on this initial visit will be your driver’s license and your insurance card, if applicable.
As you enter our clinic, you’ll be warmly greeted and invited to complete your new patient paperwork if you haven’t already done so. Our chiropractic technician will then take you back to our exam room to obtain some preliminary information.You’ll then meet with Dr. Shepherd, who will assess you through a thorough consultation and chiropractic examination. If you’re a good candidate for our care, then he will authorize our technician to complete your exam through our MyoVision testing. This noninvasive diagnostic technology will include

  • Range of motion studies
  • Surface electromyography
  • Thermography

Following your testing, Dr. Shepherd will evaluate your examination and scan findings to help you understand the source of your problem. Customized care options that align with your goals will then be offered for your consideration. Our office manager will then review your insurance benefits, and payment arrangements will be discussed.

You’ll then receive your first gentle chiropractic adjustment

Most visits take no longer than 15 minutes. Depending on your condition, cold laser therapy may also be included in your care to help you heal more quickly.
