initial visit

Brief Paperwork There will be brief paperwork for you to fill out. It provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

(Free) Consultation Once the proper office documents have been filled out, Dr. Jess will discuss any health-related issues, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.

History and Examination In order to determine the problem, Dr. Jess will ask you a number of questions related to your present ailments more in-depth. An examination consisting of postural, musculoskeletal, orthopedic, and a brief neurological exam will be conducted to determine if any subluxations exist. We recommend you bring any diagnostic reports such as X-rays, MRI’s, or records of any prescription drugs currently being taken.

Same Day Adjustment You will never receive an adjustment without having a discussion with Dr. Jess first. Patients will generally be provided with their first adjustment during this visit unless discussed otherwise. This part of the care may include spinal adjustments, traction, physio therapy, and/or soft tissue therapies. 

Home Instructions Prior to leaving, you will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include thermal application instructions, avoidance of certain activites or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.

The initial visit process can take up to 1 hour depending on your exam findings and severity of the condition. Follow up visits are usually 5-15 minutes.

X-rays are referred out to Beverly Hills Imaging (5 minute drive from office).
