Going to the chiropractor for the first time can be a little nerve-racking for patients who don’t fully understand what an adjustment entails. However, there is no reason to be nervous. At Augusta/Waynesboro Chiropractic Center, the most trusted and respected family chiropractic clinic in Georgia, Dr. William Knizner always explains everything he does prior to performing adjustments or treatments. Known as a caring and compassionate back doctor, Dr. Knizner has helped more than 11,000 patients recover from everything from chronic back and neck pain to auto accidents and spinal decompressions.

If you want to make the most of your first chiropractic consultation, here are some things to consider:

• Bring a Calendar: Most of the time, chiropractic treatments requires more than one visit to treat the back or neck pain. Ask your chiropractor about how many visits you should expect to have and bring your calendar with you so you can schedule them.
• Review Your Medical History & Symptoms: During your first visit to a chiropractic center, the doctor will conduct a thorough case history and examination. It helps to think about when and how your pain started, where it is located, what the pain feels like, and if there are any particular movements that exacerbate it. Also, if you have MRIs or X-rays related to your injury, bring them to your first visit.
• Prepare Questions in Advance: Every person’s spine is different, so every person will receive a customized chiropractic care plan. These plans might include traditional chiropractic treatments or more innovative techniques such as Class IV Laser Therapy. If you have questions about your adjustment or what techniques the doctor will use, prepare them in advance so you don’t forget to ask.
