Your First Visit to Stover Sports Injury and Chiropractic Wellness in Cumming, GA
We want your first visit to feel welcoming, informative, and empowering. From the moment you walk in, our goal is to guide you toward better health with a care plan that’s tailored just for you.
Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our friendly front desk team will welcome you like family. You’ll be asked to complete our new patient forms found in the New Patient Center. These forms provide our team with important health history details and insight into your current condition, allowing us to better serve you.
Consultation
Next, you’ll meet with a member of our highly trained team to discuss your health concerns, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. This initial consultation is designed to help us understand how chiropractic care can support your path to relief and wellness.
Examination
Following your consultation, you’ll receive a comprehensive chiropractic examination performed by one of our experienced practitioners. This includes assessments of your reflexes, flexibility, posture, and more—utilizing standard neurological, orthopedic, and physical tests to identify potential causes of discomfort or dysfunction. Nothing will be done without your full consent.
Digital X-Ray Studies
Depending on your condition, we may recommend digital X-rays to get a detailed, high-resolution view of your spine and joints. Our advanced digital X-ray system offers superior image quality compared to traditional machines, allowing our team to pinpoint misalignments, degeneration, or other underlying issues with precision. This technology plays a key role in developing the most accurate and effective treatment plan tailored to your needs. Many patients are amazed when they see their X-rays and gain a clearer understanding of the root causes of their discomfort.
Report of Findings
Once your exam and X-rays (if taken) are reviewed, a member of our team will walk you through a detailed report of findings. This is your chance to ask questions such as:
What’s causing my pain?
How can chiropractic care help me?
How often should I come in?
What will my treatment cost?
We’ll review your goals, explain your treatment options, and let you know if collaboration with other providers may be beneficial. Our focus is always on delivering the best care plan for your individual needs.
Treatment
After your report of findings, you may choose to begin your first treatment during the same visit. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, physiotherapy, or a combination of methods based on your specific condition and preferences. We keep treatment interactive, so you’re always in the loop and comfortable with your care.
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. 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.
