What to expect during your first visit
First visits can be a little intimidating and confusing. At Health For Life we want your first visit to be informational, relaxing, and helpful. First lets start talking about what to expect when you come into our office for the first time.
1. You will need to fill out some initial paperwork, either online or in person. If you plan to fill it out at our office, please arrive at least 10-15 minutes early. The link to our online paperwork is below (and on the tabs bar at the top of the website), so you can fill it out ahead of time instead of coming in early.

2. You will then check in at the front desk. Our receptionist will ask for your current driver’s license or other form of photo ID, and if you have it, your insurance card. Our receptionist will then call and verify your chiropractic insurance benefits while you are being treated.
3. After your paperwork is completed, our staff will escort you to our exam room for an evaluation with one of our doctors.
4. In most cases, we will take x-rays of your problem area. Keep in mind that no metal is allowed while taking x-rays (i.e. jewelry, underwire bras, zippers, cell phones, etc.).
5. After your x-rays, we will then begin prepping you for your adjustment and any additional therapy the doctor specifies.
6. Our staff’s main purpose is to help and assist you! A Chiropractic Assistant will be with you every step of the way on your first visit. They can answer any questions you might have, lead you to the various machines, and provide you with information about the various treatments in our office.
7. After you have been adjusted you will check out and schedule your next appointment at the front desk. Our receptionist will provide information about your insurance benefits and take your form of payment if it applies (for both insurance patients and cash patients).
8. We’ll request that you return as soon as possible to go over your x-rays with the doctor and continue assessing treatment options.
