What to Expect on Your First Visit to Our Chiropractic Center in Reading

When you first visit our center, you’ll be asked to provide us with general information about yourself and the conditions from which you’re suffering. If you have migraines, back pain, numbness in your limbs, or fatigue, write it down. The general information about yourself, such as occupation, exercise, nutrition, and pre-existing health conditions will help determine which factors need to be addressed.

Consutation

During the consultation with our Reading chiropractor, Dr. David Waldman, you’ll discuss your condition and find out if chiropractic care and any supporting services we offer can help you. For example, the treatments we offer may help if you suffer from pain in back, headache, migraine, and numbness in your extremities, but also if you suffer from allergies, certain respiratory problems, fibromyalgia, concentration problems, insomnia and problems with nutrition, among other conditions.

Examination

Following your initial consultation, Dr. Waldman will, with your consent, perform a comprehensive chiropractic examination. This includes testing your mobility, strength, and reflexes, as well as other physical, postural, neurological and orthopedic examinations. Because Dr. Waldman uses the whole-person approach to health and wellness, he will also use applied kinesiology to examine your body as an entire entity.
X-Ray Studies

Dr. Waldman may choose to take x-rays during your examination. Since they give a clear representation of the musculoskeletal system, x-rays are helpful to determine the cause of severe headache, pain in back, or other conditions. In the event that pain in back, headache, or other discomfort is due to a misalignment of the spine, the x-rays also allow the patient to actually see where the problem lies.

Treatment and Wellness Program

In general, Dr. Waldman will treat you at the end of your first visit to provide you with immediate relief from your back pain or other condition. The treatment may consist of spinal adjustments, physical therapy, or massage. The doctor may also show you home exercises to relieve pain in back and give you advice on nutrition.

Further Treatment

Usually, treatment of back pain and other conditions requires regular treatment and holistic support therapies, such as massage or pressure point therapy. Our team will design a wellness plan that may include spinal adjustments, massage therapy, exercise programs, nutrition, and relaxation techniques to maintain your overall health and wellness.
