New Patients at
Giulia’s Chiropractic

During this first visit, Giulia always seeks to build trust with her patients. “I normally start talking about their lifestyle, including what they do as a job. If they do sports, I will ask what kind of sports they participate in and how they use their body,” she said.

Giulia also will have a discussion with you about the particular problem you’re coming in with it. She’s had patients see her for neck pain, headaches, lower back pain, hip problems, shoulder tension or posture problems. Then she starts to dig in a bit deeper to determine how the issues came about.

Our chiropractor also will ask you what your goals are and what you hope to achieve by seeing her.

To get to the root cause of your pain or particular concern, Giulia will perform the following tests:

• Range of motion
• How you’re distributing weight while standing
• A posture check and analysis
• Orthopaedic tests
• Neurological tests
• Proprioception tests to determine how strong the brain-body connection is

Giulia will gather all of the information from your tests and explain what she found. She will discuss what chiropractic is and then go over the plan of care that she thinks is necessary to get to the root cause of your condition.

She normally begins treatment straightaway unless she finds anything concerning.

Please allow about an hour for this visit.

When you return for follow-up visits these are fairly brief at about 20 minutes to an hour long. You will come in, you will talk to Giulia about your progress, get adjusted, learn about stretches to do at home, and be on your way.
