Why Patients Visit a Chiropractor for the First Time
Many people visit a chiropractor for the first time because they’re experiencing pain, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or discomfort after an auto accident. Others come to us because they want to start a preventive plan to stay healthy and active. Whatever brings you to our Lake Wylie, SC office, your first visit is all about understanding you.
What Happens During Your First Visit
- Consultation: We’ll spend time talking so you can describe your pain, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your daily life.
- Examination: Dr. David Redding will evaluate your posture, range of motion, and the painful areas to get a better sense of what’s going on.
- X-rays if needed: We may take X-rays to get a clear look at your spinal alignment, though they aren’t always necessary.
- Report of findings: Dr. Redding will explain what he found and recommend a personalized care plan.
Our Philosophy on Pain and Alignment
We understand the body and how it works. Pain is often the result of something in the body being out of alignment or not moving the way it should. When joints and muscles aren’t working together properly, the surrounding tissues and nerves can become irritated. By restoring healthy alignment and movement through chiropractic care, we help your body heal so you can be pain free again.
Depending on your needs, your care may also include therapies like MLS laser therapy, shockwave therapy, dry needling, or custom orthotics.
Our Goal for You
Our goal is to help you feel better, and stay that way, as quickly as possible. It is possible to live without pain. Once you’ve reached your goals, our wellness care visits can help keep you moving well for years to come.
