Your First Visit

My First Visit

Consultation

At Midwest Chiropractic, you are greeted with fresh flowers, a smiling staff, and a special light that mimics the spectrum of sunlight rays to put your soul at ease and lift your spirits. You will then be asked to fill out our required forms which will help us gain some information about yourself and your condition.

One of our doctors will then talk with you and ask you some specific questions regarding your condition to determine if chiropractic care may be of benefit to you. If the doctor can help you, the doctor will let you know. If the doctor cannot help you, you will be refered to a doctor that will be able to help you the most. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

Examination

After a thorough consultation with the doctor, you will have a complete chiropractic examination. This will include testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard orthopedic, neurologic, postural, and physical examinations. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition so that a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you. If necessary, the doctor may take X-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures.

X-ray

X-ray is sometimes required to get a full evaluation of a patient. The need for X-ray is considered on a case by case basis. Our equipment is state of the art for imaging.

Report of Findings

Once all the information and examinations have been performed, the doctor will give you a report of findings and tell you recommendations for treatment. At your second visit, the doctor will explain about your insurance coverage, and discuss your x-rays with you. If our doctors cannot help you, we will be happy to refer you to a specialist or other doctor that may be able to help you.

Treatment

Most of our patients begin to see results from the very first adjustment. Our special gentle yet effective alignment of the body is interactive with the patient, gentle enough for kids (they love us), yet able to restore function and movement for the athlete and senior. Also, for our senior citizen patients, we also offer traction spinal technique adjustment.

Our office participates in many insurance programs. We also accept auto accident liens and workers compensation cases. To find out if your insurance covers chiropractic care, you can call our doctors directly or schedule your free consultation at 773.229.9600 or fill out the insurance form. We offer everyone a free no obligation consultation.

For patients who have little or no chiropractic insurance coverage, flexible payment programs can be arranged.
