Life Chiropractic Center

Consultation

On your first visit to our office in Post Falls Idaho, you will be welcomed as a member of our family and our receptionist will greet you with a warm smile. You will then be asked to fill out our required forms, which will help us gain some information about yourself and your condition. Dr. Thomas will then talk with you and ask you some specific questions regarding your condition to determine if chiropractic care may be of benefit to you. If the doctor can help you, he will let you know. If he cannot help you, you will be referred to a doctor that will be able to help you the most. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

Examination

After a thorough consultation with the doctor, you will have a complete chiropractic examination. This will include specialized computer testing, which allows you and the doctor to actually see how well your nervous system is functioning. Your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard chiropractic assessments will be performed. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition. This will give both you and Dr. Thomas a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you. If necessary, the doctor may take X-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures.

X-ray

X-rays are sometimes required to get a full evaluation of a patient. The need for X-rays is considered on a case by case basis. Our x-ray machine is a high frequency unit, which means less x-ray exposure, and is state of the art for imaging.

Report of Findings

Once all the information and examinations have been performed, the doctor will give you a report of findings and recommendations for care.

Care Plan

Dr. Thomas will recommend a plan which may include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, exercises, nutritional recommendations (diet and supplements), orthotic and pillow supports, and even water intake suggestions. Each care plan is specific and modified to each patient’s individual needs.
