WHAT TO EXPECT
We Want To Make Your First Visit A Great One!
At Rocky Mountain Clinic of Chiropractic, we aim to make your care journey seamless and effective.
A first visit usually takes about an hour. Rest assured that we'll make you feel as comfortable as possible going through the process.
YOUR FIRST VISIT IN 5 STEPS
1. INTAKE AND INSURANCE VERIFICATION
When you arrive, you’ll start with our standard healthcare intake paperwork, just like at any medical facility.
Our team will also verify your insurance benefits, ensuring you know what your coverage includes before any treatment begins.
There are NO FEES associated with these intake and verification services.
2. CONSULTATION
Next, you’ll meet with Dr. Mickelsen for an in-depth consultation.
This one-on-one interview helps us understand your condition and its effects on your daily life.
This is a key first step in pinpointing the cause of your symptoms and understanding your health goals.
As with the intake process, there’s NO FEE for your initial consultation.
3. EXAMINATION
The examination is a thorough process focused on recording key findings about your physical condition.
During the exam, Dr. Mickelsen will perform a range of tests, including:
- Observations.
- Neurological tests (sensory and motor).
- Palpation (tenderness, swelling, etc.).
- Active and passive motion.
- And stress testing.
This step allows us to diagnose your condition accurately by narrowing down possible causes and prioritizing the most likely ones.
4. DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES
If further insights are needed, we may recommend diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or MRIs.
These tools are invaluable for confirming the exact nature of your condition, enabling us to create a treatment plan that targets your specific needs.
5. TREATMENT PLAN AND REPORT OF FINDINGS
Once we’ve reviewed all the gathered information, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
During your Report of Findings, Dr. Mickelsen will share recommendations and answer any questions you may have about the treatment plan.
Your journey to recovery usually begins with a detailed overview, and while treatment typically starts on your second visit, this step is crucial in setting the foundation for your care.
SUBSEQUENT VISITS & RE-EXAM
SUBSEQUENT VISITS
Subsequent visits take from 5 to 20 minutes depending on your individual treatment needs.
Your treatment frequency will vary based on factors like the severity of your injury, your pain level, and your scheduling flexibility.
For optimal results, we often recommend multiple weekly visits early on.
The more consistent the visits, the greater the benefit you’re likely to experience.
For example, coming in 3 times a week for treatments will be far more beneficial than only once per week.
At Rocky Mountain Clinic of Chiropractic, we’re here to support you each step of the way.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive, personalized approach that helps you achieve lasting recovery.
RE-EXAM DAY
Your treatments will continue until Re-Exam Day.
During your Re-Exam visit we will…
1. Compare objective findings from inital exam to current condition.
2. Re-perform x-rays or other diagnostic studies (an needed).
3. Reconsider treatment frequency needs.
4. Provide treatment.
