Your First Visit to Our Galloway Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

First visit appointments are usually given extra time for you to be able to fill out a case history, have your insurance information copied, and any tests or diagnostic studies that you have had done prior to your appointment will be reviewed and copied. If you are on several different medications, it is good to bring a list that we can copy.

Expect to be in the office for a total time for the first visit of 45 minutes to an hour. We will also want to know who your other doctors are, and what kind of treatment you have already had. If you have had any surgeries, we will need to know that as well.

The doctor will be asking you about your primary health complaint, and the history of it. She will also want to know if you have had other major health issues, and whether you have had prior chiropractic care, and your response to it. She will examine your spine, and will be checking your ranges of motion, your reflexes, and any other specific orthopedic tests for your condition. She then may order x-rays for you. Depending on your case, you may be getting adjusted on your first visit.

On conclusion of your visit, the receptionist will take your co-pay, or if you are a cash patient, your first visit payment. Your second visit will be scheduled at this time also.

Dr. Scheuermann Asks some important questions of interest to Galloway residents - Chiropractor Galloway Dr. Scheuermann Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
What's the difference between chiropractic and medicine?
Medical treatment focuses on the disease or the symptom. Chiropractic focuses on the person with the disease or the symptom. Medical treatment usually involves changing blood chemistry. Chiropractic involves restoring nervous system integrity. Medical doctors prescribe medicine. Chiropractors adjust the spine—a common source of nervous system interference.
