By gently correcting your spinal alignment, a chiropractic adjustment can help you find relief from back pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. If you’ve scheduled your first appointment, you may wonder what to expect. Understanding this will help you make the most of your time with your provider. Here are some tips for preparing for your upcoming treatment.

Chiropractic Adjustment Appointment Prep

1. Dress Comfortably

During your session, you will be lying on a table. The chiropractor may move your arms and legs or ask you to remove your shoes to assess your feet. To prepare for this, wear shoes that are easy to remove, such as sandals, and loose-fitting clothing that doesn’t hinder your movements.

2. Prepare for Questions

Your chiropractor will ask you questions to understand your symptoms. Be prepared to tell them where you feel discomfort, when it tends to happen, and how often you experience it. Include any information about restriction of movement, pain, medications you take, or injuries you’ve sustained in the past. Your provider will use this information to identify any issues and determine the best treatment plan for you.

3. Arrive Early

Plan to arrive ten to fifteen minutes early. This will give you ample time to fill out all required paperwork and relax in the waiting room before the session. You can also discuss the procedure with other patients who may have been there before or office staff so you can get comfortable before your appointment.
