Services

First visit

What happens at your first True Health visit.

You’re hurting and you want to understand what happens first: the exam, x-rays, what we look for, and how we explain the next step.

The real question

You want to know what’s going on before care starts.

Most people don’t request a visit because they know the exact service they need. They request a visit because pain, stiffness, headaches, or injury symptoms are interrupting normal life and they want us to explain what’s happening.

That’s what the first visit is for. We listen, examine, take x-rays, and walk you through what we find before we talk about care.

What happens first

Your first visit gives us the full picture.

Conversation

Tell us what’s been happening.

Where it hurts, when it started, what makes it worse, and what normal activities feel different now.

Exam

We check how your body is moving.

Movement, posture, orthopedic tests, chiropractic findings, soft tissue tension, and the areas that seem involved.

X-rays

First visits include x-rays.

X-rays help us see what we’re working with before care starts, especially when pain, injury, posture, or spine mechanics are part of the picture.

Explanation

You hear what we found.

We explain the findings in plain language, then talk through the care options that match your exam.

Why x-rays matter

We want to see the structure before we talk about care.

X-rays are part of the first-visit system at True Health. They help us look at alignment, posture, joint spacing, and other findings that can affect your care plan.

The point isn’t to overwhelm you with medical language. It’s to make our explanation easier to understand.

What we’re looking for

The exam connects your symptoms to what your body is doing.

Where movement feels limited

Neck, back, shoulder, hip, ribs, extremities, or other areas that feel stiff, painful, or restricted.

What pain is interrupting

Driving, sleeping, lifting, sitting, work, exercise, or the normal routines that have started feeling harder.

Which care option belongs first

Chiropractic care, massage therapy, injury care, home guidance, follow-up care, or a referral if that’s the better call.
