Your Initial Visits

PATIENT FORMS

Upon entering our office Tammy or Paul will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request you fill out your Health Profile.  The form, located the New Patient Center, will give us a profile of the specific stresses you have faced in your lifetime, allowing us to better assess the challenges to your health potential.

CONSULTATION

As a Wellness Chiropractic Office, your consultation with Dr. John Termini will address the issues that brought you to our office, concerns, as well as potential care options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. John Termini to learn more about you, your health status and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care can meet your goals.

EXAMINATION

After your consultation, Dr. John Termini will perform a chiropractic examination of two computerized neural scanning techologies, joint and muscle tension analysis and joint motion evaluation.  Postural evaluation in the standing neutral position and bilateral weight scales.  Prone testing can detect short leg lengths, heel cord tension patterns, breathing patterns, foot flare, palpatory tissue tone abberations, positional postural changes can complete the postural and integrative components of the examination.     

X-RAY STUDIES

Examination results may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation.  X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions and detect advanced staged of distortion, especially in the spinal joint structures. X-rays can assist us in developing the most effective care plan for you.  Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and spinal decay themselves.

REPORT OF FINDINGS

Once all the information and examinations have been performed, Dr. John Termini will give you a report of findings on your following visit to answer the three most popular questions: 

• Can you help me?
• What do you recommend to restore my health?
• What will my investment be?

If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. John Termini believes we can help you, a detailed report will be preparedso that you can be comfortable and fully informed as you make decisions on how to begin the restorative care plan.  

YOUR CARE

Practice members will generally be provided with their first adjustment at the conclusion of the report of findings on the second visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.  Care is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.  An "adjustment" is a gentle and precise spinal procedure that unlocks old tension while stimulating better nerve control.  Dr. Termini has combined the best of chiropractic technologies and techniques to develop a strategy known as Tonal Geometric Repatterning, or simply TGR.  This system of adjusting uses a technology-based approach, utilizing the FDA approved Integrator instrument.  The Integrator instrument was developed out of extensive university research to apply precise forces to unwind spinal nerve tension. This painless approach is an ideal way to unlock older patterns.  Infants children, adult and seniors can all benefit from the TGR system of care. Dr. Termini carefully isolates the tension patterns and gently adjust the tone of the nerves and spine.  The goal with each practice member is to unleash the natural healing energy of the nervous system, while repatterning postural alignments.  Practice members report increased energy, more complete metabolism, enhanced immune response and greater clarity in thinking while under the TGR system of care.

HOME WELLNESS CARE PLAN

Practice members 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 habitsand 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 movement, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and tension release.
