Your First Visit with Dr. Neely

Your first visit with Dr. Neely will be very similar to other visits you may have had with other doctors for lowback pain or some other injury.

Paperwork

Prior to beginning care, you will be asked to fill out intake paperwork. The detail in our intake paperwork aids us in providing better quality care to our patients. 

Health History
The first thing Dr. Neely will do is take a comprehensive health history to get a full understanding of your condition and your general health.

Physical Exam
Following the history, a physical exam will be conducted including a chiropractic, orthopedic, and/ or neurological exam depending on what is appropriate for your particular case.

X-Rays

Approximately 1/4 of our patients need to be referred out for x-rays or imaging studies prior to treatment, due to findings from either the physical exam and/or history. In the absence of red flags, X-rays are not necessary to begin manipulative therapies for most patients.

Review of Findings

Once all the factors surrounding your case have been evaluated, Dr. Neely will discuss the diagnosis with you in detail, so that you can fully understand your condition(s).

Treatment Plan

After you have a good understanding of your condition(s), Dr. Neely will recommend a treatment plan of appropriate therapies we can provide at the clinic, as well as home stretching, exercises, and self-care recommendations.

Our goal is to empower you through educating you about your condition and to help you through the healing process, so that you can heal and return to your normal day to day activities as quickly as possible. Ultimately, we want to give you the tools to take control of and maintain your own health.
