First Visit
During this visit, you will have a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Yoo. He will review your paperwork and discuss what your individual goals are for care. Then you will have a Chiropractic evaluation that will be performed along with Gonstead System to help determine the cause of your condition. The following will be done:
-
Chiropractic Evaluation – Several actions will take place during this process that will assist Dr. Yoo in making an assessment. The evaluation will include visualization, nervescoping(Spinal nerve thermal detector), static palpation and motion palpation. Based on the assessments, X-rays may be required as these postural images are helpful in examining the structure of the spine and visualizing any spinal degeneration.
This first visit will take about 45 minutes.
*In case of an urgency, Dr.Yoo will give you the adjustment based on the result of the Exams and X-ray. It would take about an hour in total.
Second Visit
At this Report of Findings visit, Dr. Yoo will address all of the data from the previous visit so he can put together a specific care plan for each patient’s problems and goals. He will outline the three phases of care:
-
Symptom relief where your body should start to heal;
-
Corrective care that aims to fix those things that aren’t necessarily causing symptoms; and
-
Maintenance care to help you stay healthy.
You also will receive your first chiropractic adjustment.
