PATIENT CENTER
Paragon physical medicine
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We request that you complete the new patient forms located below and bring those completed during your first visit. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition. If you are unable to print them at home, please arrive twenty minutes early to your scheduled appointment and we will provide them for you to fill out in our office.

Next, you will have a consultation with one of our Doctor's to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for our Doctor's to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
consultation
After your consultation, we will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
examination
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well.
X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
x-ray studios
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, we will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including: 1) How can you help me?; 2.) How often do I need to come in?; 3.) What will my treatment cost? After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, we will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. We will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
report of findings
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.

Maintenance is key to healthy living. Once your body has fully healed, routine chiropractic care can help ensure your physical problems do not return and keep your body in optimal condition.

During the corrective phase of your care, you may not have to receive adjustments as often as you did during the first phase. We begin teaching you exercises & nutrition at the clinic to help accelerate your healing.
