Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Kent Kelley to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Kent Kelley to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Kent Kelley 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.
X-Ray Studies
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.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Kent Kelley will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Kent Kelley will discuss recommendations and notify you of the treatment plan to manage your condition and get you out of pain most quickly. Kent Kelley will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs and specific condition.
Treatment
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you may experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. At Abundant Living Chiropractic, Dr. Kelley uses the advance ProAdjuster System to offer an adjustment that is effective, specific, gentle, and safe for patients of all ages. It is very comfortable, without the twisting, turning, and "cracking" or "popping" associated with manual adjustments. This technology allows us to specifically diagnose exactly where you do and do not need to be adjusted, and the results surpass those traditionally available through manual adjusting and manual hand-held tools such as the activator or Arthrostim. While we still offer and perform manual adjustments and specific manual techniques for certain conditions, Dr. Kelley does most adjusting with the ProAdjuster, and most patients marvel at the ProAdjuster difference!
Wellness Program 
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.
