Your First Visit to Our Baldwinsville Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

The first visit to our office we first request that you fill out a new patient intake form and health history questionnaire. Following that you have your first consultation with the doctor to discuss your health objectives.

Chiropractic examination procedures will be performed to detect any irregularities in your nerve, muscle and skeletal systems to determine if chiropractic care is appropriate for you. A lifestyle evaluation may also be recommended to determine the role of physical, chemical and emotional stress on your health and well being. The doctor will advise you as to need of additional procedures such as laboratory and x-ray tests, if necessary.

If your case requires immediate attention, emergency first aid may be administered. However, most new practice members will start receiving care after the doctor has taken sufficient time to fully evaluate all the examination results and derived a care program specifically for you.

Dr. Dougherty Asks some important questions of interest to Baldwinsville residents - Chiropractor Baldwinsville Dr. Dougherty Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
