First Appointment 

The first appointment lasts about 45-60 minutes as it entails a review of your complete medical history, orthopedic exam for areas of pain and then treatment. Doctors of Chiropractic are considered Primary Care Physicians which is why a thorough exam is done. The only time treatment would not be done at the first visit is if there is a contraindication to treatment where imaging would need first to ensure no injuries would occur from the treatment.
