Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering my office please make yourself comfortable and enjoy a cup of water in the waiting room. Dr. Ebaugh will usually be with you within a few minutes of your arrival.  Please be sure to complete the new patient forms located in the New Patient Center of this website. This paperwork provides your health history and information on your condition.


Consultation

Next, you will have a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Kirstin Ebaugh to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Ebaugh to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.


Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Ebaugh will perform a complete and thorough examination that includes appropriate orthopedic, neurologic and chiropractic tests. Other standard postural, and physical tests will be performed as needed. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent. This initial consultation, history, examination and treatment usually takes between 45 -75 minutes.


X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, you may be sent to Oregon Imagining for X-rays, a CT or MRI. X-rays may be needed to develop  the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert Dr. Hess of  any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, you can even identify degeneration yourself.


Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, Dr. Ebaugh will give explain the findings and answer any questions including:

  1. How can you help me?
  2. How often do I need to come in?
  3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  examination and goals, Dr. Ebaugh will discuss recommendations and discus whether your condition  requires care with other providers.   Dr. Ebaugh will  provide the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.


Treatment

At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, rehabilitation therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies, including massage.  Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment  anytime.


Wellness Program

 If you are in pain when you first come into our office your initial wellness program may be limited to ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire,  Dr. Ebaugh will work with you  to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan.  The purpose  of our wellness program is for   you  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
