Day 1: Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, one of our team members will  welcome you with a smile.  We will request that you complete the new patient forms at this time unless you have done so ahead of time.  You can find these forms located in the New Patient Center of this site. This paperwork provides your doctor with valuable information about your health status and goals.

Day 1: Doctor Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with one of the doctors to review your specific health concerns together. This initial visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to help determine what type of chiropractic care will allow you to meet your goals.

Day 1: Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Sawdey or Dr. Emmons will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and observing your range of motion. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. The doctor will explain each test before performing it and answering any questions you may have concerning them.

Day 1: X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, the doctor may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most appropriate treatment plan for you, and alert us of  any serious spinal conditions including spinal misalignments and degeneration processes.

Day 2: Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, your doctor will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

1. How can you help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, the doctor will give you his/her recommendations for care, giving you options to meet your health needs and goals.  Next, one of our team members will review your insurance coverage and/or our cash plans to help you plan for the care you have chosen from the doctor's recommendations.

Day 2: Treatment

 At the conclusion of Day 2, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, rehabilitation, and/or soft tissue massage. You will be guided at each step of your chosen treatment plan.

Holistic Patient Care

Throughout your treatment at Chiropractic & Wellness Center of Albertville, the doctors will make recommendations you may incorporate outside of treatment.  This may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  Our team will work with you to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. One of our goals is to help you achieve vitality through structural (spinal alignment and soft tissue balance), chemical (nutrition needs), and psychological (positive mental health) balance and harmony.
