What to Expect at Our Lake Wylie Chiropractic Office
At Lake Wylie Wellness & Chiropractic Center, we want you to know exactly what to expect from the moment you walk through our doors. From your warm welcome at the front desk to your examination and personalized care plan, every step is designed to help us fully understand you, your pain, and your health history.
Your Visit, Step by Step
1. A Friendly Welcome
Once your appointment is booked, our friendly receptionist will be ready to greet you when you arrive at our Lake Wylie, SC office. If you haven’t already completed your forms online, you’ll fill out paperwork when you arrive. To save time, you can complete your intake forms from our New Patients page before your visit.
2. Your Health History
Your paperwork will ask about your family history, because some issues in the body can be hereditary (though that doesn’t mean we can’t help). It will also ask about your health habits, daily activities, and medical history. We want to cover all the bases so we can help you as much as possible.
3. X-Rays When Needed
Depending on your injury or condition, X-rays may be recommended to get a clear look at your spine. X-rays are typically only needed for new patients or when there’s a change in your condition.
4. Your Examination
Your exam may include posture and movement assessments, orthopedic and neurological tests, and hands-on evaluation of the painful area. You may be asked to move, bend, or lie down so we can get a better feel for what’s going on.
5. Talking With Dr. Redding
After your exam, you’ll sit down with Dr. David Redding, our compassionate and knowledgeable chiropractor. Be sure to tell him about the pain you’re experiencing and any other symptoms you’ve noticed, even if they seem unrelated.
6. Your Personalized Care Plan
Dr. Redding will explain your condition and your treatment options. Together, you’ll decide what you’re comfortable with and create a plan to help you reach your goals. Your plan may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, home exercises, and therapies such as MLS laser therapy, shockwave therapy, or dry needling.
Follow-Up Visits
Follow-up visits are typically shorter and focus on adjustments, therapies, and tracking your progress. As you improve, many patients transition to periodic wellness care to maintain their results.
