We know the first time going somewhere new can be stressful.  So, here at Gentle Care Chiropractic we want to take the mystery out of it and show what we're all about.

Arrival and Paperwork.

 Complete Application for New Practice Members

We ask all of our new patients to complete a new member application as completely as they can. This form includes questions about your health history and gives us an understanding of past trauma/injuries that might be contributing to current health issues. These forms are electronic, so you won't have to print anything out. Follow this link, to save yourself 30 minutes at your appointment!

Chiropractic Assessment.

Our doctors will have a one-on-one consultation with you in order to get to know you personally. This also allows for us to get a clearer picture of the health history paperwork you completed. We will discuss your current issues, past health concerns, health goals, and how we can best serve you to reach those goals. We will also provide information on our neurologically-based philosophy and approach to your health and concerns.

Specific, Scientific, Chiropractic Assessment
Our team will perform a complete spinal exam, which includes a nerve and muscle assessment. This allows us to objectively locate the root cause of your health concerns.

Diagnostic X-Ray.





Based on your consultation and assessment, your doctor will determine if postural X-rays are needed to complete his or her evaluation. If necessary, our team will take the images in our on-site, digital X-ray suite. This will allow Dr. Ralph, Dr. Veronica, Dr. Amanda or Dr. Dan to evaluate your skeletal structure in order to provide you with the safest and most effective care possible.

New Practice Member Orientation.

New Practice Member Orientation & Report of Findings

Following your first appointment is the new practice member orientation. During the orientation, your doctor will present more information on chiropractic care and health.  We will then sit down with you and present your recommendations and a detailed report of the doctors findings. This will include analysis of your postural X-rays and the results of your assessment. We will also discuss convenient payment options available to you in our office and go over your insurance details. We also encourage you to bring a friend or family member to your report of findings.

Your first adjustment.

Upon committing to care, you will then have the opportunity to receive your first specific chiropractic adjustment in our office. Please remember, the process of healing is a two-way street, navigated by both the doctor and you. In order to experience true health improvements, you will need to commit to your chiropractic appointments and to living a healthy lifestyle.
Patience will be essential throughout care, because healing often takes time. While some individuals see improvements right away, others take more time. Also, understand that some temporary and minor stiffness, soreness, and/or discomfort are normal at first. These healing sensations are a sign of your body correcting itself as proper biomechanics and nervous system function is restored.
