Are you planning to consult the with Dr. Mike at Robnak Family Chiropractic? You won't feel lost on your first visit as he follows a systematic procedure at his clinic.
We welcome walk-ins. However, if you're visiting Dr. Mike for the first time, call to schedule an appointment! We provide FREE initial consultations for new patients.
The First Visit
Consultation: The consultation is all about you, what brought you into the office, what your problem is, how your symptoms are affecting you, and your health goals under chiropractic care. We care about not just getting you relief, but getting you healthy.
Examination: The examination is used to determine just where the subluxation in your spine is and how it is affecting your body. A comprehensive (some say the most detailed chiropractic exam they’ve had) exam will be performed utilizing a variety of tools:
Visualization: How the spine looks. Is there hair in certain spots and not others; is there visible inflammation and red, puffy areas; does it have an orange skin appearance; is there visibly tighter muscles on one side opposed to the other; how the spine looks when walking, etc.
Static Palpation: How the spine feels to touch. Is it hot or cold; is there inflammation in certain areas; is there pitting edema where it feels like your finger is going over the bruise of an apple, etc.
Motion Palpation: Once we have narrowed down the regions involved from palpation and visualization, it’s time to figure out how those segments move.
Instrumentation: Using a delta T to find heat changes due to inflammation from subluxation.
Full Spine X-Rays: These will allow us to see what your spine looks like and use that information to know where the subluxations are and how to fix them.
The entirety of the initial visit should take about an hour. At the end of the examination and x-rays, Dr. Robnak will briefly explain to you what he found before rescheduling you for a subsequent visit. An adjustment may be given depending on the nature of the case involved.
The Second Visit
Report of Findings: After analyzing all the findings from day 1, we create a treatment plan and let you know: what is wrong, how we plan to fix it, how long it will take, how much it will cost, as well as the different kinds of treatment plans offered.
We will give you no less than the absolute truth about what is going on in your body and what you will need to do to help it heal. YOU control how fast you want to get WELL.
Adjustment: Using specific manual (hands-on) adjusting, we will correct the subluxation. Each and every adjustment builds on the one before it.
