Your First Visit to Our Downpatrick Practice
As a new patient coming into our office you will be greeted by our wonderful staff. We will all take care of you and guide you through to our Consultation room and proceed through the Intake Form. This is where you read through our consent and we take a through medical history and details of any current complaint or health challenges. Once this form is complete we will ask you to get into a gown so that Dr. McElroy has access to your spine for the examination.
Once you are changed Dr. McElroy will come in and introduce himself. He will then proceed to ask how the quality of your life is affected by any health challenges you are facing. (Since aches and pains will come and go it is essential that we understand what in aspects of your life is being affected.) We believe this to be very important so we understand what your expectations are.
The doctor then performs a thorough chiropractic examination, testing muscular and neurological function through a variety of methods. He also performs two computerised scans testing muscle activity along the spine.
Then Dr. McElroy leaves you to complete his notes, allowing you to get dressed. Once changed you then will be asked to go back out to our front desk where you will step onto bi-lateral scales so we can record your first reading. This is done again at each visit before and then after the adjustment to see how the adjustment affects your nervous system pattern. Once we have your scales reading we check that your second appointment has been made and then take payment.
If you use glasses please bring them along for the consultation as there are some health history details to be filled out.
Downpatrick chiropractic patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!
