Welcome — here’s what to expect.
Your first two visits are all about understanding you: your history, your goals and what your spine is telling us.
Three simple steps to feeling better.
First visit: get to know you
You’ll fill out a few forms — the more detail, the better your doctor understands your health history. Then you’ll have a consultation, chiropractic exam and X-rays if needed. You may or may not be adjusted on this visit.
Second visit: your plan
Your doctor reviews your X-rays and findings with you and recommends a plan of care — how often to come in, plus things you can do at home to improve your spinal health.
Regular visits
Each visit, your spine is checked for subluxations and adjusted as needed. Additional therapies may include intersegmental traction, cold laser therapy or flexion-distraction.
What to bring to your first appointment.
- Photo ID and your insurance card, if you have one
- A list of medications and supplements
- Any recent X-rays, MRIs or relevant records
- Comfortable clothing you can move in
- Allow a little extra time on your first visit for paperwork and your exam
Questions we hear often
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral is needed. You can call, text or request an appointment online, and we’ll get you scheduled.
Is chiropractic safe for babies and children?
Yes. Pediatric adjustments are extremely gentle and use only light fingertip pressure. Dr. Kate is certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and our doctors care for children every day — our youngest patients are just minutes old.
Can I see a chiropractor while pregnant?
Absolutely. Our doctors are trained in the Webster Technique, which focuses on balancing the pelvis to ease discomfort and support a healthier pregnancy.
Will I be adjusted on my first visit?
Possibly. Your doctor will decide based on your health history, exam findings and any X-rays. Some patients are adjusted the first day; others begin after their care plan is reviewed on visit two.
Do you take X-rays?
Yes — we have an on-premise digital X-ray facility, so if your doctor recommends imaging it can be done right here during your visit.
Does the adjustment hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable and relieving. We offer low-force options like Activator, Impulse and Thompson Drop for anyone who prefers a gentler approach.
Do you accept insurance?
Many plans include chiropractic benefits. Call our front desk at (843) 706-3472 and we’ll be glad to help verify your coverage before your first visit.
Do you offer care in Spanish?
Sí. Dr. Lina and Dr. Dami both speak Spanish, and we’re happy to schedule you with either of them.
