Lakeside Sports Chiropractic Center | 704-896-8446 | Get Connected With Us:
Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you to our practice. We suggest that you download the new patient forms and fill them out prior to your first visit. This will save you 10-15 minutes. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Jennifer Lidstrom to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Jennifer Lidstrom to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care meet your goals.
After your consultation, Dr. Jennifer Lidstrom will perform a complete chiropractic examination including orthodpedic and neurological testing. She will also test your range of motion to see where your pain and discomfort is coming from . Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation of a patient. We have a brand new Digital X-Ray system that allow us to rule out more serious conditions. The X-Rays are available immediately and assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often times identify their own misalignments and degeneration.
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, Dr. Jennifer Lidstrom will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. Jennifer Lidstrom will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. Jennifer Lidstrom believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.
Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.
Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success. Every body is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan. The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief.
