What to Expect

New Patients

You won't be adjusted on your first visit, because we don't guess.

We take time to listen to your story, review your health history, and use advanced technology to assess how your nervous system is functioning. Then we create a personalized care plan that's safe, specific, and built around your goals. In a world that expects fast fixes, we offer something different: a path forward built on real understanding, not assumptions. Health is a journey, and we're here to walk it with you every step of the way.

Health Forms

After calling to confirm your appointment, we'll send you a link to complete an electronic intake form. It's thorough on purpose: your medical history, current concerns, lifestyle habits, exposures, stressors, and your personal health goals all help us see the full picture.

All paperwork must be completed before your first visit. If it's incomplete or missing, we'll need to reschedule to make sure we have enough time to review everything properly.

Office Tour

At the start of your first visit, we will give you a brief tour so you know where everything is and feel at home in our office. We've designed Radius Chiropractic to feel calm, welcoming, and family-friendly from the moment you walk in.

Health Consultation

This one-on-one consultation is your space to talk openly and be heard. Our goal is to get an incredibly detailed picture of your health, your experiences, and your story, so we truly understand what's going on.

We'll talk about the everyday stresses your body has been exposed to (physical, chemical, and emotional) and how these can play a major role in how your nervous system is functioning. We'll explain how specific chiropractic care can address the root causes of what you're experiencing, not just the symptoms.

Neurological Profile

Next, we take three different non-invasive neurological scans. Together they show us how your body is handling stress and exactly where interference is sitting in your nervous system. You'll change into a gown so we can reach your spine, then stay seated while we guide you through each one. None of it hurts, and the scans are safe for everyone from newborns to grandparents.

Scan 1

Neurothermal scan

We roll a small two-wheeled scanner up your spine, from the base all the way to behind your ears. It picks up tiny temperature differences at each spinal level, and those differences point to something important: the same nerves that control your organs and glands also control blood flow to your skin. A hot spot shows us where stress is stuck and which systems it may be affecting. The whole pass takes about 30 seconds.

Scan 2

Surface EMG scan

This one reads the muscles that hold you upright. We glide small sensors down your spine to measure how much energy those muscles are using. Some areas work overtime and get stuck in chronic tension, while others have worn down and stopped carrying their share. The pattern shows us how well your brain is communicating with your body, and the full scan takes under two minutes.

Heart rate variability

For the last scan, you'll simply rest your hand on a small sensor while it reads your heart rhythm and a few other signals your nervous system gives off, like skin temperature and moisture. This tells us how well your body shifts between fight-or-flight and rest-and-recovery, and how much reserve it has left for handling stress.

Your results come back as a score on this chart. Green means your nervous system is adapting well. Red means it's running low, and that's exactly what care is designed to rebuild.

Postural Assessment & X‑Rays

We'll assess your posture by looking at how your body is naturally holding itself, to see where tension, imbalance, or stress is showing up. Then we take digital X-rays of your spine. They show us exactly what's going on underneath the surface, down to the precise angles and measurements of each vertebra, so your care plan is built on the full picture from the very beginning.

Your Personalized Care Plan

At your second visit, we will review the results of your scans and X-ray images more in depth, explaining what the results mean and how they're affecting your health. This is a great time to ask any questions you have. We want you to feel confident, informed, and fully supported.

Then we will present you with a personalized care plan specifically designed to help you reach your individual health goals.

Adjustment and Therapies

After choosing to commit to your personalized care plan, we'll head to a different room specifically for adjustments. We'll walk you through the basics of what to expect, including a simple "tap language" the doctor uses to guide your movements during the adjustment. Then it's time for your first specific chiropractic adjustment and the first step of your journey toward optimal health!

Common questions
How long will my first visit take?

Your first visit will take approximately 60 minutes and will be a comprehensive evaluation to get to the root cause of your health concerns.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your ID and your insurance card. You are welcome to bring copies of recent x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or other imaging of your spine that you believe would help our team understand your health concerns better.

Do you take insurance?

We encourage everyone to bring their insurance card with them to their first visit. In some cases we are able to assist in providing a superbill to file with your insurance.

When will I get my first adjustment?

You will be able to get adjusted at your second visit after your report with one of the doctors. To see is to know, and to not see is to guess, and we don’t guess with your health.

How often should I schedule chiropractic visits for optimal results?

The frequency of chiropractic visits depends on your individual health goals and the nature of your condition. During your consultation, our practitioners will discuss a personalized treatment plan, including the recommended frequency of visits.

How is Radius different?

We provide neurologically based chiropractic care focused on balancing your nervous system through specific chiropractic adjustments. When interference is removed from your nervous system, your body will become more adaptable to life’s stresses! We take the time to analyze what your body and nervous system need to heal. Our doctors use Torque Release Technique, as well as a variety of other adjustment methods, and your scans and x-rays to create a customized plan for care.

Which doctor will I see?

Dr. Dan and Dr. Sarah rotate between all of our practice members in order to provide you the most comprehensive care. Two sets of eyes are better than one!

Will I need x-rays?

We do require recent spinal x-rays for adults and most adolescents. To see is to know, and to not see is to guess, and we never want to guess about your health! We will not take x-rays for anyone who is pregnant or has extenuating health conditions or concerns.

Who should I bring with me?

You are welcome and encouraged to bring your spouse or partner with you to your first two visits. If you have children and need to bring them with you, they are welcome as well! Radius is always a family-friendly environment.

What is your cancellation policy?

We have a 24-hour cancellation or rescheduling policy for your first two visits since these visits take longer and require a one-on-one consultation with a team member. Not showing up to these appointments without prior communication, or last-minute rescheduling, will result in being charged a fee. Rescheduling your adjustment appointments can easily be done at any time, however!

I’ve never been to a chiropractor before. What should I expect?

No worries! Here at Radius, we take the time to make you feel at home and explain our process and principles at your first visit. A trained team member will walk you through our day one experience, which consists of a diagnostics process and education on how adjustments improve the health of your entire body. We will also set up a second visit to review your findings from your first visit.

Can I combine different services in one visit?

Absolutely! We understand that each individual’s wellness journey is unique. Our practitioners will create a customized treatment plan that may include a combination of services to address your specific health goals.
