Most people are somewhat apprehensive when they set forth on an alternative form of care (especially when it is their first experience with chiropractic). Rest assured, when you enter our office you will be greeted by a warm and friendly staff who will immediately put you at ease and start you with the appropriate paperwork.
Once completed, you will have a consultation with Dr. Infanti, who will perform a comprehensive history. This gives you the opportunity to express your health concerns and expectations and to ask any questions you may have pertaining to the matter. It is also my opportunity to express my role in your health care and discuss your health options and prognosis.
A physical exam will then be performed which will include range of motion evaluation, orthopedic testing, reflex assessments, muscle testing, and a specific Chiropractic evaluation in order to identify the source of the problem.
In most cases, treatment will begin on the first visit. Depending on Dr. Infanti’s findings it may consist of physical therapy, spinal manipulation, joint mobilization, muscle work or some combination of these. Dr. Infanti may also provide valuable information in regards to modifications in your activities of daily living, your ergonomic set-up and/or post-treatment care such as ice and rest.
During your follow-up visit a comprehensive treatment plan will be discussed with you so that you have a clear understanding as to what to expect for the duration of your care in our office.
I feel that the foundation of the doctor-patient relationship is communication. If you feel that something has not been explained to your liking, please feel comfortable in addressing it. On each subsequent visit I will ask you how you are progressing, I want you to feel that you can tell me if you are feeling better, worse, or the same.
