subject: Norwell Chiropractor - What To Expect From A Chiropractic Visit [print this page] When some east coast residents hear the word "chiropractor," images of cracking bones and expressions of agony come to their mind. It is this false perception of chiropractics that keep many people from ever giving it a try. If you have never visited a Norwell chiropractor before, and now you feel the need to, it have been due to your work on the docks in Norwell, a sports injury at Norwell High School or due to the chilly Norwell winter weather. While different practitioners run things differently, there is a basic procedure you can expect from any licensed chiropractor.
If it is your first visit, the receptionist may want to take a look at your insurance information to see what kind of coverage, if any, you have for this kind of service. Chiropractics are commonly an additional item that must be manually added onto your plan. However, it never hurts to check your coverage. Then the receptionist may hand you a sheet to fill out with your basic information. This includes your contact and personal information plus simple questions about your medical history, allergies, past surgeries and other similar questions. The sheet may have a picture of a person's body where you can indicate where you have been experiencing pain.
When the paperwork is complete, you wait for the Norwell chiropractor to be ready to see you. So far, this feels very much like a doctor visit. However, once you are guided through the doors to the patient's rooms, it will feel quite different. The chiropractor may ask you about the part of your body you indicated has been feeling sore. He may ask about any feet or digestive problems you have experienced. It seems unrelated, but surprisingly, the condition of your digestive tract and your feet can have an impact on how the rest of your body is doing.
The actual chiropractic work will differ greatly depending on what Norwell chiropractor you choose to visit. Some will work on your delicately, asking you to lay down on the massage table as they work out knots in your back and check on the alignment of your spine. Others will get down to business, asking you to cross your arms over your chest as they lift you up and cause your aching back to crack. You can determine the type of Norwell chiropractor you have found by asking them about their techniques before the session actually starts.
