What to Expect from your Initial Visit

	A patient first entering the office may not notice the

friendly staff or the calm, serene environment.  One will notice,

however, the thorough examination and evaluation of one's

physical condition. After completing the usual paperwork, patients

will be asked to view a short video, explaining the office protocols,

procedures and wellness benefits.

	Your consultation with Dr. Leon begins with a review of 

your health history and a discussion of your current state of

wellness. He will take a complex history of your symptoms, and

administer a complete chiropractic examination of the body and its

systems, including neurological, orthopedic and musculo-skeletal

evaluations.

	Next, the patient will undergo mild diagnostic testing, which

may include, depending upon the affliction, surface electro-

myography, thermal scanning and/or x-rays.  Be assured that only 

tests necessary to diagnose a particular condition will be performed,

in order to make your care as precise as possible.  If needed,

patients are provided with ice, heat or other external stimulation to

help reduce initial symptoms.  At this point, the first visit will have

been completed.

	The second visit will be subject to a clear understanding

of the doctor's findings from the initial examination, as well as a

thorough explanation of vertebral subluxations and their removal.

Dr. Leon will then detail the recommended course of care, prospects

for recovery and ways you can facilitate the healing process.

Finally, using gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments, the

doctor will restore the moveable bones of your spine to their more

structurally normal and healthy position.  These adjustments are

the key to creating optimal health and wellness throughout your

mind and body.

Congratulations, you are now a member of the Leon Chiropractic family!
