Your First Visit

Weddington Chiropractic Wellness Center P.A. has joined many others in the eco-friendly cause by going as paperless as possible and getting electronic medical/health record (EMR/EHR) software. This means that at this time there aren't any forms for you to fill our before you come in. 


For Your First Visit:

We are excited to have you start your care with us!!!  You will be greeted by our friendly staff and they will aid you in entering your demographic and health information on either the counter height kiosk or the tablet kiosk, depending on your comfort level.

We will need your insurance card (if applicable) and drivers license (for your security) to verify your benefits and identity. If you would like to call (704) 817-7618 and give us this information before your visit we will have an estimation of your benefits at your visit! Because it is an estimation of your benefits, we always encourage our patients to call and double check their benefits.

Please call if you have any questions, we are happy to help! We are looking forward to meeting you!


Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Lisa Merritt to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Merritt to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.


Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Merritt will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.


X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may send you to get X-rays taken as well. X-rays help us develop  the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of  any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.


Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Merritt 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, Dr.  Merritt will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr.  Merritt  will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.


Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you will experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage.  Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.


Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, Dr. Merritt will suggest a  wellness program  to incorporate outside of treatment.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire,  our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan.  The purpose  of our wellness program is for   you  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
