Patient Forms

Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request you fill our patient forms; this paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

Consultation

Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Herndon to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Herndon to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation Dr. Herndon will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation of your health. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.  Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

On your second visit to Herndon Chiropractic, Dr.  Herndon will give you a report of findings to go over your examination and x-rays.  He will also recommend a customized treatment plan.  This is also your opportunity to discuss your health goals and ask any questions you have about chiropractic or our office.

Treatment

Patients will generally be provided with treatment the conclusion of their first visit. This may include a chiropractic adjustment, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue therapy. 

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, patients will be given a home-care program. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire an overall wellness lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and routines that support your success.  Every body is unique and different and therefore everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan.  The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief.
