New Patients at Performance Chiropractic
Ready to Get Started? We’d Love to Meet You!
When you walk into Performance Chiropractic, the first thing you’ll notice is a smiling team member greeting you by name. You’re being welcomed into your future, your potential and your new extended family. Please help yourself to refreshments, and know that you’ll be seen promptly. We always respect your time.
Though we collect the same basic information most medical offices require, expect to be treated differently. You’re an individual, not a number or a “condition.” We’re here to assess your unique needs and to treat you as a unique person.
The best way to begin is simply to call us or request an appointment and we’ll take care of the rest.
Your First Visit
You’ll be escorted to a private room where we’ll learn more about your health history, discuss any recent injuries, and examine areas of concern. Dr. Shaye and Dr. Panick will conduct a thorough examination to determine:
- Your particular problem
- What’s causing it
- Which solutions will suit you best
We’ll walk you through everything we find, answer all your questions, and discuss your options. Then you’ll receive your first treatment. Your care plan may include chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, dry needling, or a combination of approaches – whatever is best for you, according to your needs and preferences. Most patients also leave with self-care guidance to support their progress.
Your first visit will typically take 45 to 60 minutes.
Subsequent Visits
We believe in respecting your time. Follow-up visits are efficient: about 15 minutes for chiropractic, or 30 minutes if you’re receiving acupuncture. Our patients don’t live to see us; they come to us so they can live life to the fullest.
Do I Have to Come Forever?
Not at all; you always have a choice. How long you take advantage of chiropractic care is entirely up to you. We believe health care is a partnership, and our job is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to take great care of yourself inside and outside our office.
Your Path to Better Health
We guide every patient through three phases of care as they work toward optimal health, and you’re always in control:
The focus here is getting you out of your “rut.” We’ll typically see you for 2-4 weeks before assessing your progress and making any needed course corrections. Patients in this phase typically report decreasing pain, if pain is what brought them in; and improvements in function.
Corrective Care: Your body has started learning better patterns. This phase helps lock in improved movement and function. Patients here are typically getting back to work, sport, and everyday life.
Many of our patients choose this stage of care to maintain health and living at their best, not just manage pain. Just like you see a dentist to keep your teeth healthy, regular chiropractic checkups help your whole body perform and age well, potentially increasing not just life-span but health-span (how long you can thrive and enjoy life, your way).
Insurance & Affordability
We’ll file your insurance for you. We’re in-network with Medicare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Blue Cross Federal, and all BCBS PPO products. If we’re out of network with your plan, we can still file on your behalf. Uninsured or underinsured? Ask us about our discount plans. Patients love them!
Prefer to get a head start? You’re welcome to read our new patient forms before your first visit, though it’s completely optional. Our team is happy to assist you when you arrive.
