Here is what you can expect when you visit us for the first time.

Getting to Know You and Your Injury

The first thing we will do when you get to our office is have you consult with our doctor. During this consultation, the doctor will ask you questions about your injury. They will want to know what you were doing when your injury occurred and whether or not you remember being jolted, along with other details. The doctor will then conduct a history and physical which will contain questions about your personal medical history and your family’s medical history. From there, the doctor will delve deeper into your symptoms and the level of pain you are experiencing.

The Exam

Your chiropractor at Proctor Chiropractic in Tacoma will examine and evaluate you by examining your joints and muscles. He will also perform a neurological exam to check the response of your muscles to stimulation and movements. Your chiropractor will also check your range of motion to determine a baseline, and check for muscle tone and strength. Our team members will also check your vitals, and x-rays and CT’s will be ordered if the doctor deems them necessary. After all of this is completed, our doctor will then determine a plan of treatment, and will speak with you again regarding your treatment plan and what you can expect moving forward.
