Your First Office Visit Experience

Paperwork
Please print and fill out all forms provided under the New Patient link and bring them to your appointment.  This will expedite formalities and give Dr. Holdren more time to spend with you.

History and Examination
In order to determine what your actual problem is, Dr. Holdren will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which areas are affected and to what extent.

X-rays
Your specific condition may require x-rays to be taken to either rule out more serious conditions or assist in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.

Treatment
Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, Dr. Holdren will put together a report of findings that includes his recommended treatment plan for your case.  He will go over this with you at your second appointment, which is when you would begin your treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.

Home Instructions
Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home or throughout the day. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as exercises and/or stretches.

Schedule Your Next Appointment
You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete report of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
