Patient Forms

When you visit our office, our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family.  If you have already completed the forms located in our New Patient Center, the receptionist will review them to make sure we have all the information we need.  If you have not filled out the paperwork in advance, we ask that you now take the time to fill out the paperwork.  

Consultation

During your consultation with Dr. Akiba Green, you will discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Green to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Green will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent and you can remain fully clothed throughout the examination.

X-Ray Studies

To fully understand your specific condition, we may be required to take x-rays.  X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.  Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

At your second appointment, Dr. Green will review with you his findings and your x-rays and recommend a treatment and wellness plan for you.  He will also answer the three most important questions for you:

1. Can you help me?
2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
3. How much is it going to cost?

If Dr. Green believes that you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. 

Treatment

Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.  Our treatments are interactive and at any point if you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.  We want you to be comfortable about the style of adjustments or treatments you are receiving.

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. 

If you desire instruction or help with an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success.  Every body is unique and different so our wellness plans are unique and individual to each patient.  The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief.
