 First VisitBrief Paperwork Please bring your completed paperwork with you to your first appointment. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. Download these pages here:
Consultation Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with Dr. Liuzzo or Dr. Peele to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. History & Examination In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent. X-Ray Studies Your specific condition may require us to take X-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Same Day Treatment Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, patients will generally be provided with their first treatment during this same visit. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies. Total Time of First Visit Depending on the nature of your specific health needs and the amount of diagnostic tests to be performed, your first visit will take approximately one hour. Home Instructions Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. Schedule Your Next Appointment You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time. Medical Referrals There will be times when other physicians are needed in order to bring a patient back to full capacity. We have a great referral relationship within the community and work closely with medical doctors, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, pain management specialists and other health professionals to bring the most specific and necessary health care to you. Attorney Referrals North Florida Chiropractic Center has established a professional relationship with perhaps the best attorneys in Gainesville.
