New Patients at Anrig Family Chiropractic
Your First Visit
The Initial Consultation
After a warm welcome at the front desk, your first visit begins with a private consultation with Dr. Claudia.
This is where learn about you, why you’ve come in, your health history, and any concerns you may have.
Dr. Claudia listens carefully to help you decide whether chiropractic care may be right for you.
“I never want patients to feel rushed or unheard,” says Dr. Claudia. “Real listening is how we begin to understand what’s going on.”
If it’s a good fit, the next step is an examination.
A Detailed Examination
Adult patients receive a thorough examination. This may include standing X-rays, posture analysis, palpation, range-of-motion, and other tests.
The goal is to better understand what may be contributing to your health issue.
Many patients remark that it’s more complete than they expected.
Naturally, the examination is adapted for pregnant mothers, newborns, and children.
Please reserve about an hour for your first visit.
Reviewing Our Findings
Before your next visit, Dr. Claudia will review and correlate your exam findings. Then she can explain her findings and care plan in clear, understandable language:
- What your examination findings mean
- Whether chiropractic care may help
- What kind of changes you might expect
- Recommended visit frequency
- Costs and financial options
For most patients, care begins with their first adjustment. Please reserve about 45 minutes for this second visit appointment.
The Adjustment
The Gonstead method is the foundation of Dr. Claudia’s approach. It begins with a complete analysis of your spinal structure, movement, and balance.
On each visit, she checks how your spine is moving and responding. A helpful tool measures subtle temperature differences along your spine. This makes your adjustments precise and individualized.
When adjustments are artfully delivered, very little force is needed. Many patients are surprised by how “naturally right” they feel.
Ongoing Visits
Once the groundwork has been established, future visits are typically shorter. Often 10 minutes or less.
Even on these shorter visits, Dr. Claudia remains highly attentive to how your spine and nervous system are responding.
Along the way, she may also offer suggestions to support your healing, resilience, and overall well-being.
At its best, chiropractic care is a partnership. Together, we’ll make a great team.
Progress Examinations
Because retraining your spine takes time, periodic examinations are important.
About every 6 to 8 weeks, we’ll recheck what we uncovered from your initial evaluation. Then we can compare where you are, with where you were.
These evaluations help answer four questions:
- Are your spinal biomechanics improving?
- Is nervous system interference diminishing?
- What patterns still need attention?
- Can visit frequency be reduced?
While many patients see progress early on, these special visits help us look beyond symptoms.
After Relief: Wellness Care
In the beginning, many patients see us because something hurts.
Later, some choose to continue their care because they appreciate how much better life feels. And they want to keep it that way.
Others simply return as needed.
Either way—no pressure.
Our role is to support your goals, provide clear guidance, and help you make informed decisions about your health and your family’s care.
When the time feels right, we’re here to help.
