At ABCW, we look at the full picture. Your first visit is a chance to share what’s troubling you, whether it’s pain, posture, function or your general well-being.

At our front desk, we will guide you towards care that’s tailored to your body and lifestyle by combining clinical insight with whole-body wellness.

When you come in for your initial appointment at ABCW, we will take a comprehensive history not just
of your primary concern, but also any other medical issues, lifestyle factors, and relevant family history. This consultation is designed to understand your body as a whole and begin charting a personalized wellness path. If you have any radiological records such as
X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, they’ll be reviewed
at this stage as well.

You will then be asked to change into a gown and taken into the treatment area where a full spine
exam will be conducted.

Following the exam, we’ll provide you with a Report of Findings (ROF). The ROF outlines the root cause of your symptoms. Taking your history, the examination and your current system into account, we will be able to identify the spinal misalignments leading to neurological distress, causing dysfunction. If radiological findings are provided, that will be discussed - if there are none and some are needed, then those will be recommended. 

- What to expect from your ROF:

RESOLUTION
MOBILITY
STRENGTH
REGULATION 

• Identification of the cause of acute and chronic symptoms

• Identification of the cause of nervous system dysfunction 

• A treatment timeline (sessions per week and overall duration)

• A recovery plan detailing restoration of function, resolution of the root cause and recovery geared towards elevated lifestyle (activities) 

Note: If your visit is non-traumatic, (such as a routine nervous system check-up or general alignment) you’ll likely be able to continue your regular activities alongside chiropractic care.

Once the ROF has concluded, you will be given a rundown of our charges per session. This will conclude your first visit with us! You can then schedule your treatment visits at the front desk.
