Your First Visit: What to Expect
We know that visiting a new doctor can be a bit overwhelming. At In & Out Chiropractic, we’ve streamlined our process to be as thorough as it is efficient. We want to get you answers—and relief—as quickly as possible.
1. Discovery & Consultation
We start by listening. We’ll discuss your health history, current pain points, and your lifestyle goals. Because we are also Registered Dietitians, we look beyond just the “crack” to see how your nutrition and daily habits might be impacting your recovery.
2. Functional Examination
Dr. Nels or Dr. Kimberly will perform a targeted physical exam. We look at your spinal alignment, joint mobility, and muscle function to find the “why” behind your discomfort.
3. Personal Wellness Plan
Once we understand the issue, we’ll explain our findings in plain English. No jargon—just a clear path forward. This usually includes:
-
Chiropractic Adjustment: Gentle, expert spinal or extremity correction.
-
Nutritional “Quick-Start”: Immediate dietary tips to help lower inflammation.
-
Movement Advice: Simple stretches or exercises to help your adjustment “hold.”
4. Back to Your Day
Our goal is to get you back to your life. Most follow-up visits are designed to fit into a busy schedule, so you can get the care you need and get back to what matters most.
If you have any questions regarding your first visit, please don’t hesitate to call us at 602-237-2555.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the adjustment hurt?
How long will my appointment take?
True to our name, In & Out Chiropractic is designed for the busy Laveen lifestyle. While your initial consultation is thorough to ensure we get your diagnosis right, our follow-up visits are streamlined so you can get treated and get back to your day without the long wait.
What makes your office different from other chiropractors?
It’s our “integrated” approach. Because we are both Chiropractic Physicians and Registered Dietitians with Masters in Sports Health Science, we don’t just move bones—we look at your inflammation, your nutrition, and your functional movement. We treat the whole person to get faster, longer-lasting results.
Do you take my insurance?
Yes! We are In-Network providers for most major insurance companies (including BCBS, Cigna, and United Healthcare). We know insurance can be confusing, so we offer to verify your benefits for you before your first visit to eliminate any surprises.
Can you help with more than just back pain?
Absolutely. As Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioners, we have advanced training in treating “non-spinal” joints. We regularly help patients with shoulder, knee, and ankle issues—which is especially helpful for the many hikers and athletes in our Laveen community.
