Step by Step

What Happens at Your First Chiropractic Visit?

Plan for about 45–60 minutes. Your visit includes a conversation about your concerns, a focused examination, imaging when clinically appropriate, and an explanation of the findings and next steps. Whether an adjustment is appropriate at that visit depends on the examination. You can ask questions before deciding on care. Meet Dr. Palmer Piana and Dr. Pierce Piana before your visit.

1
Tell us what is going on
Your first visit starts with a real conversation. We listen to your symptoms, your history, what makes things better or worse, and what you have already tried. Nothing is rushed. This context shapes everything that follows.
2
Focused chiropractic examination
Your doctor performs a thorough chiropractic evaluation, posture assessment, range of motion testing, neurological and orthopedic screening, and a hands-on spinal exam. This is not a generic checklist. It is a focused look at how your body is functioning.
3
Digital X-rays and thermal imaging
When clinically appropriate, we use digital X-rays to evaluate spinal alignment and structure, and thermal imaging to observe nervous system stress patterns. These tools give us objective information that changes how care is recommended and delivered.
4
Report of findings and clear recommendations
Your doctor walks you through everything found, what the exam showed, what the imaging revealed, and what it means for your body. You will receive clear recommendations before any care begins, so you can make a confident, informed decision.

What You Will Not Experience

We do things differently here.

Life Charge Chiropractic was built to feel different from a rushed, generic clinic. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Care plans are explained fully before you commit
Recommendations come after the exam and imaging are reviewed. You will know what your doctor found and why each recommendation is being made.
Care begins after we understand your body
Your first visit is about evaluation and clarity. Care begins once your doctor understands your structure, your nervous system, and your goals.
Plain language and real findings
Your doctor explains the findings in plain language. You will understand what is happening, why it matters, and what the options are.
Our Philosophy

Listen first.
Examine carefully.
Explain clearly.

You should know what your doctor sees, why it matters, and what is recommended next, before care begins. That is what a first visit looks like at Life Charge Chiropractic.

Personal consultation, not a rushed intake form
Focused exam with real clinical reasoning
Imaging used to add clarity, not pad a bill
Clear report of findings before care starts

Common Questions

Honest answers before you book.

How long is the first visit?
New patient visits run about 45–60 minutes. We budget enough time to listen, examine thoroughly, and explain what we find, not rush through a checklist.
Will I get adjusted on my first visit?
Not always. The first visit is primarily an evaluation. In some cases your doctor may begin gentle care on the same visit, but only after the exam is complete and findings are reviewed. Nothing happens without your understanding and consent.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can schedule directly with Life Charge Chiropractic without a physician referral. If you have insurance or are coming in after an accident, bring those details and the front desk will help sort through the paperwork.
Do you take insurance?
Yes, we accept most major medical insurance plans. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID to your first visit and we will run a complimentary check of your benefits and explain exactly what is covered before any care begins. Costs and recommendations are always reviewed with you up front.
What if I'm nervous about chiropractic?
That is completely understandable, and a good reason to start with a conversation. Your doctor explains everything before doing anything. There is no pressure to commit to care before you feel ready and informed.
