Your First Visit

Chiropractic care is different than medical care. We address the whole body; the skeleton, nerves, muscles, and diet. It is this difference that offers natural ways to get well and stay well. By consulting a Chiropractor or Naprapath, you are taking an important step towards achieving an optimal level of health and wellness — to be the best you can be.

What should I expect?

During your initial visit, you’ll be asked to complete our patient forms describing yourself, your health history and your health goals. You’ll then meet one of our doctors. This meeting will allow us to get to know each other, to explore your specific health issues and explain a little bit about our office and what we have to offer.

What happens during the exam?

We’ll study the way you turn and bend. We may test your reflexes and muscle tone. These and other physical, orthopedic, and chiropractic tests help us locate areas of your spine that could be the cause of your problem. Nutritional evaluations may also be utilized. Our examination is thorough and will put you at ease.

Depending upon our evaluation, we will recommend a program of specific care based on chiropractic, naprapathic, and/or Chinese medicine principles. Our highly-experienced practitioners are trained to help you achieve your natural healthy state of being, and may include spinal adjustments, manual therapy and massage, acupuncture, therapeutic exercise and/or dietary considerations in your treatment protocol.

The Doctors at Gutrich Chiropractic have helped patients presenting with a wide variety of conditions, and without drugs or surgery. If we find that we cannot provide this to you, we will gladly make the proper referral to the appropriate health care professional.

Once again, welcome to Gutrich Chiropractic!
