What to Expect on Your First Visit to Peak Chiropractic

Starting chiropractic care can feel like a big step, and we want to make the process as smooth and clear as possible. At Peak Chiropractic, we take a thorough, personalized approach to understanding your health concerns and finding the best path forward. Here’s what you can expect from the moment you contact us to your first adjustment.

What to Expect for Your First Upper Cervical Care Appointment at Peak Chiropractic

Step 1: Your Initial Phone Call

When you first reach out to Peak Chiropractic, you’ll likely speak with our friendly front desk office manager, Stephanie. She will take the time to understand your health concerns, what treatments you’ve tried before, and whether our care is the right fit for you. This helps us ensure that you get the best care possible.

Step 2: Your First Appointment

Once we determine that we’re a good fit for your needs, we’ll schedule your first visit. When you arrive, you’ll meet with one of our experienced chiropractors for a detailed health history consultation. This allows us to understand your past and current health challenges, ensuring we provide the best possible care.

Step 3: Neurological Exam & 3D X-Rays

To get a complete picture of your spinal health, we’ll conduct a comprehensive neurological examination to assess how your nervous system is functioning. This helps us determine if misalignments in your spine are interfering with your health.
We also take advanced 3D X-ray images of your head and neck to identify any structural misalignments that may be affecting your well-being.

Step 4: Your Personalized Care Plan & First Adjustment

After reviewing all the gathered information, our doctors will analyze your test results and X-rays in detail. When you return, we’ll sit down with you to discuss your results, explain the best plan for correction, and answer any questions you have.

Once your customized plan is in place, we’ll perform your first chiropractic adjustment. Following the adjustment, you’ll relax for 45 minutes, allowing your body to adapt to its new alignment. Before you leave, we’ll check your nervous system to ensure it’s functioning optimally.

From there, we’ll schedule future appointments based on your specific care plan, working together to restore your body to optimal health.

With a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment
After dealing with migraines my whole life, then panic attacks and most recently vertigo, which is the absolute worst experience to go through. I was determined to find help and that is where I found Peak Chiropractic with Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. They are warm, welcoming and above all experts in the field of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care. They walk you through the process step by step and with a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment. The adjustments are gentle and precise. No cracking or extreme movement of the head, which I can't handle. The last time I saw a chiropractor the extreme movement of my head led me to vomit in the bathroom right after the appointment. Not the case at Peak Chiropractic! I am on a treatment plan that started in February and will go until July and that gives my neck time to adjust and heal and then hopefully maintenance after. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally feel better, sleep better. I don't have the wave of dizziness that I was having on the daily. I also suffer from panic attacks driving and that in itself is debilitating. Even though I came to Peak for migraine and vertigo issues, I had no idea how much it would help me in gaining back my confidence to drive. I no longer get in my car with the feeling of dread and panic. That in itself is life changing!! So thankful and grateful for the care I am receiving and the healing and recovery process. I highly recommend you take the time to get the help you need if suffering from migraines, vertigo or panic attacks. No reason to be miserable when you can get the help you need and through Amazing people like Dr. John and Dr. Kyara!

I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice.
Peak Chiropractic is an amazing place. Jon and Kierra are very knowledgeable and friendly! They take the time to explain everything and make sure you’re well taken care of. They specialize in starting at the root of the cause and not over doing it. I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice. They made me feel very comfortable and the recovery room is very comforting after the adjustment. I highly recommend Peak!
