Your Second Visit
At the beginning of your second visit Dr Oliver will ask you if you have any questions. Many times patient leave the first visit and realize they forgot to ask something, or they want to go over what was discussed again. It is important to follow up with any questions you have as Dr Oliver believes the most important thing is for a patient to be informed of what is going on and what the plan is to get better. Patients that understand the process respond better to treatment and ultimately have better outcomes.
If x-rays were ordered, Dr. Oliver will personally review them with you.
After a few minutes discussing the treatment plan and any questions you may have treatment will begin. Depending on what is needed this may be anywhere from 10 minutes up to 1/2 hour.
Typically the order of treatment is:
- soft tissue work (stretching, myofascial release, IASTM, etc…)
- chiropractic adjustments to areas of restriction
- exercise therapy instruction
