Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist
will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that
you complete our patient forms located in the
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr.
Glenn Mellusi to discuss your health-related problems,
concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for
Dr. Glenn Mellusi to learn more about you, your
condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet
your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr.
Glenn Mellusi will perform a complete chiropractic
examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological,
orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However,
nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may
take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment
plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people
are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even
identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and
examinations are performed, Dr. Glenn Mellusi will give
you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How
can you help me?
- How
often do I need to come in?
- What
will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history,
goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Glenn
Mellusi will discuss recommendations and notify you if your
condition requires care with other providers. Dr.
Glenn Mellusi will provide the best
treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial
appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may
include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage.
Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different
styles of treatment anytime.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest
a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If
you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or
heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at
home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team
will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your
lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a
customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is
for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy
diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
