A first chiropractic appointment should help you understand your situation and available next steps. At Fountain Valley Chiropractic, the process begins with conversation—not assumptions.
The consultation
You will discuss what brought you in, when it began, how it affects your day, and what you hope to change. Relevant health history, previous injuries, and prior care help create context for the evaluation.
The examination
The evaluation is shaped by your concern and may include observing movement, checking range of motion, and performing other appropriate clinical assessments. The purpose is to gather information before making a recommendation.
The conversation afterward
Dr. La will discuss what was found, answer questions, and explain whether chiropractic care appears appropriate. If a different kind of evaluation should come first, that should be part of the conversation too.
Key takeaways
- Bring relevant information
- Wear comfortable clothing
- Expect an evaluation before recommendations
