Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Sten Ekberg to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Sten Ekberg to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals. You will also begin to gain an understanding of what neurologically based chiropractic is all about.


Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Sten Ekberg will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. In addition to standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests, Dr. Sten Ekberg will also perform and explain muscle testing as functional neurology to start gaining and understanding of possible nervous system imbalances. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.


Report of Findings

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


Treatment

Your first visit and every visit you will include a chiropractic adjustment from the chiropractor. Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.
 


Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor 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.
