What To Expect On Your First Visit:
Linn City is the former name of West Linn, thus the name Linn City Chiropractic. We want to extend a warm welcome to the city of Rolling Hills, whether you have been living here for many years or have recently relocated. We are proud to be a part of this close-knit community and hope that you will make as many long lasting relationships as we have.
If you are new to the area and left a great chiropractor behind or are just wondering if chiropractic is for you – you’re in the right place — we’re looking for great patients. Call (503) 908.0122 to schedule your appointment. If you are ready to see the power of chiropractic work for you follow the steps below:
READY to make an appointment!
Our goal is to keep you whole, healthy and pain-free. We appreciate and acknowledge that the main reason you might consider us is to eliminate your pain, however, we pride ourselves on providing natural drug-free health-care, to include nutrition and exercise and weight management. You can look forward to feeling better on the first visit. We want you to have a great chiropractic experience every time.
Linn City Chiropractic & Trusted Hands Massage are committed to providing personal service. Patient education and a teamwork approach will put you on the fast track to feeling better in just a few visits. We educate our patients to take an active role in improving their health.
Once again, we welcome you and your family to our practice. If you have children – bring them with you. We firmly believe ‘As the twig bends, so grows the tree.’ Children need chiropractic care too! (Trust me, I have 6 kids). Remember to bring the forms with you for your first appointment. A detailed history is necessary. We will handle the insurance paperwork for major medical and motor vehicle accident injuries. We are the only non-surgical spinal (disc) decompression clinic in West Linn, we are proud to offer this unique therapy that has helped thousands of patients avoid surgery.
What to expect on the First Visit
Consultation:
You will be asked for a great deal of of information, not just about the pain or present complaint that may have brought you, but also your past medical history. To ensure that our approach is appropriate for your condition we will need to establish an overall health picture. If we feel that your condition is beyond our scope of care, you will be referred to your General Practitioner (GP) or to a relevant specialist. Your medical information will remain confidential.
Examination:
Once your case history is complete, the doctor will examine you. The examination will concentrate on your musculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles, and joints), but it may also be necessary to examine other areas such as your heart, lungs, abdomen, to confirm an accurate diagnosis; this check up is a normal procedure at our clinic. Passive care begins right away. Depending on the mechanism of injury we may need to order X-rays and/or MRIs to obtain further information and when appropriate, refer you for an additional testing.
Report of Findings:
Before treatments starts, we will tell you, in clear, simple language:
- What we found wrong with you. (Differential diagnosis)
- We will tell you if we can help you.
- Recommend treatment and discuss the risks and side effects.
- Estimate of how much treatment will cost.
- Discuss your alternatives to care.
You will also be advised about any particular need for exercise based rehabilitation, or recommended changes to your lifestyle, occupational environment or diet. We encourage you to take an active part in the healing process to speed up the improvements. We will also tell you of any likelihood of a recurrence of your problem, and the possible need for any on-going supportive care.
