Integrated New Patient Pathways at our Lansing Clinic
Review the specific care pathway that applies to the specialist you are scheduled to see.
Chiropractic New Patient Pathway
Initial Focus & Exam
Your first visit is comprehensive. While a gentle adjustment may be performed for acute pain, comprehensive care begins after your report of findings on your second chiropractic visit.
The Treatment Plan
Treatment typically involves three phases: a corrective phase (frequent visits), a stabilization phase, and a long-term wellness phase, customized to help your body hold its structural correction.
Not Here for Chiropractic? Explore Other Pathways:
Consultation Focus
Your initial visit focuses on determining candidacy for non-surgical treatments (e.g., joint injections, PRP). This requires a detailed review of previous diagnostics and medical history.
Who Qualifies
Ideal candidates usually have chronic joint pain, tendon injuries, or osteoarthritis that has failed conservative treatment. A thorough evaluation is mandatory.
