What to Expect at your first Chiropractor appointment

Embarking on a new experience can be daunting, especially when unsure of what to expect. Livingston Chiropractic and Rehab is committed to ensuring that your initial visit to the chiropractor is as seamless and stress-free as possible. By providing you with the necessary information on how to prepare for a chiropractic adjustment and what to anticipate during your session, we aim to help you reap the numerous benefits of chiropractic care.

How to Prepare for a Chiropractic Adjustment

Preparing for a chiropractic adjustment is simple. First, you need to schedule your appointment at a convenient time. On the day of your chiropractic appointment, we recommend drinking plenty of water, eating a healthy snack or meal high in protein, and trying to be as well-rested and relaxed as possible. Additionally, it’s essential to be mindful of any aches, pains, or discomfort, as this information can help Dr. Ralph identify areas that require more attention. Finally, all left to do is head over to Livingston Chiropractic in Livingston, NJ.

What to Expect During Your First Trip to the Chiropractor

When you visit a chiropractor for the first time, consider it a fact-finding mission. After completing your patient paperwork, you will have a consultation and evaluation with Dr. Ralph Santonastaso. This consultation will help Dr. Ralph understand your issues and current condition better. Once we have all the necessary information, we will sit down with you and discuss our findings. We usually start treatment immediately, such as an adjustment, massage, or anything else. During the treatment, we urge you to be honest about your feeling. If you feel any discomfort or need to take a break, we will adjust to ensure your comfort. After the treatment, we suggest a wellness program that may include corrective exercises and a regular heating pad or ice pack use. You can go home, rest up, and contact our office if you have any questions or concerns before your next visit.

Livingston Chiropractic can help you manage pain with treatment options, including chiropractic care. Once you know what to expect and how to prepare for a chiropractic adjustment can become a natural part of your wellness routine.
