Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Irwin Mulnick or Dr. Uma Mulnick to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and your health goals to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
After your consultation, Dr. Irwin or Dr. Uma will perform a complete chiropractic examination. Standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests along with reflexes and flexibiltiy will be performed. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Depending on your specific condition, we may recommend the taking of X-rays, MRI or other tests which, when indicated, can help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any more serious problem.
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Irwin or Dr. Uma will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examination along with any lab tests that may have been performed, the doctor will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Irwin and /or Dr. Uma will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, acupuncture and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive and looked upon as a team effort between you and the doctor(s).
Prior to leaving, the doctor will make recommendations for home care for you to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. Our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional health. This would be achieved through the use of appropriate natural treatments, a healthy diet, exercise, and maintaining a positive mental state.
