Upon arrival you will be asked to complete our intake forms and provide us with any additional records. Once these documents are completed, you’ll meet with Dr. Portela to discuss your needs and find out if you’re a candidate for NUCCA care. If we think that we can help, we will start with a full examination. The examination consists of orthopedic and nerve testing, gravity stress analysis and postural analysis. If needed, digital x-rays will be taken on-site. A report of findings appointment will be scheduled separately to review your results.
Dr. Portela will educate you on the cause and correction of your problem. You’ll receive your first chiropractic adjustment. Following NUCCA protocols, post x-rays will be done after your first adjustment.
Some people choose to stop seeing a chiropractor when their pain is gone. However, it is recommended once you’ve reached a state of correction regular wellness visits are scheduled to maintain your new balanced state. At these visits, we’ll make sure that your body is balanced and working optimally so that you can get the most out of life long-term.
