Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our staff will welcome you as a member of our family.
We will request that you complete our patient forms if you have not completed them
in the comfort of your own home. This paperwork provides us with your health history
and information on your condition. Rest assured that nothing will be done in our
office without your consent.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. DeFilippis to discuss any health-related
problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed
for Dr. DeFilippis to learn more about you, your health goals expectations, and
any health issues or conditions you may have. This will help us to determine how
chiropractic care can meet your goals.>
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. DeFilippis will perform a complete chiropractic examination
testing the function of your nerve system. Other standard neurological, orthopedic,
postural, and physical tests will be performed as well.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us
in finding the cause of most problems, assist us to develop the most effective treatment
plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Dr. DeFilippis will
then thoroughly study and analyze your X-rays and exam findings and will go over
all of the results with you on your next appointment. Most people are amazed once
they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignment
and degeneration themselves. >
Report of Findings
At this time, Dr. DeFilippis will review your history, exam and imaging. If any
special testing is required it will be ordered. You will then be invited back for
a report of findings to discuss the cause of your health concerns and then discuss
a treatment plan. The emphasis is to have your questions answered.
