Making your first appointment anywhere new is a bit unsettling, no matter where or who it is you are going to see! This is even more so if you know nothing about what a Navarre Chiropractor actually does for your first visit.
First, it’s important to know that chiropractors practice non-surgical, non-invasive, drug free treatment methods because we know that in many cases if you give the body what it needs it can heal itself!
Before your appointment, please bring any medical records relating to any current issues you’re having and be prepared to give your chiropractor your full medical history!
Now that you have everything ready let’s review some tips on how to prepare and what to expect for your first visit at our Chiropractic Center!
#1 Come Early
There is always some paperwork to complete, so make sure you show up a little early.
If for some reason you can see that you won’t make it early (or on time) please call the office and let us know so we can make whatever changes needed to in order to keep the flow of patients moving so no one is inconvenienced! (850) 939-3339
#2 Dress for Comfort
Expect your first chiropractic adjustment during your visit so dress for comfort! You will be lying on a table face up, face down and often in a variety of other positions including on your sides.
Don’t wear tight fitting or constrictive clothing. Most people feel comfortable in loose-fitting athletic clothing and tennis shoes (with clean socks!).
If you have any prosthetic devices or if you wear any medical appliances please tell your chiropractor in advance.
#3 Know Your Pains
We are health care experts, not mind readers! Be prepared to tell us everything you can about your pains. How it started, how long you’ve dealt with it, when it occurs, what makes the pains worse or better and what you have been doing to get by.
Don’t be shy or ashamed to tell us the truth. We won’t be shocked, and you won’t have the full benefit of treatment if we aren’t fully aware of your problems and lifestyle!

#4 Don’t Be Nervous
Don’t let online videos you might have seen frighten you. Adjustments shouldn’t hurt! They actually feel so good you might wonder why you waited so long!
If you hear any popping or cracking noises, don’t be concerned. This is simply trapped air being released between the joints or discs, similar to cracking your knuckles.

#5 Ask Questions
Your chiropractor will most likely make a treatment plan for you so that you can get the most of your visits. Make sure you understand what you’re being told and ask any questions before you leave!
For optimal results, it’s best to keep visiting our office for regular adjustments. Make your next appointment before you leave!
