1st Chiropractic Visit

On your first visit to our office

You can expect to spend approximately 45 min. to 1 hour with the doctor. Prior to your first visit, we ask that you fill out our “initial visit forms” online with details regarding your health history. This saves valuable time when you have these forms filled out in advance.

COURSE OF CARE

We will discuss all your health concerns with you to help determine the best course of care. Next, our team will perform a skin temperature test using an instrument called a “Temp-o-scope/Nervo-scope”. This instrument records temperature readings on both sides of the spine. We're looking for asymmetries that show up as specific patterns along the spine demonstrating nerve irritation. The scope pinpoints the particular area/areas that likely indicate where the nerve is being irritated. The instrument is non-invasive and glides gently down the length of your back like two fingers sliding down each side of your spine.

BEGINNING CHIROPRACTIC CARE IN Seattle

Next, your chiropractor will feel for the presence of swelling, tenderness, and any abnormal texture or tightness in the muscles and other tissues of your back (static palpation). We're also feeling for motion in the spine while moving and bending you (motion palpation) to determine how easily/difficult each segment in your spine is moving in different directions. Our chiropractors are also visually looking for subtle changes in your posture or gait that may indicate a problem as well.

NEXT STEPS

We’ll take an x-ray (if appropriate). The X-rays help Gonstead Chiropractors complete a thorough analysis of your spine.

THE X-RAYS IN THE “GONSTEAD SYSTEM”

Aside from pathology, x-rays are used to determine the best way to adjust a segment SPECIFICALLY e.g., which side of the joint to contact and thrust on and which side to stabilize, the best line-of-drive and thrust mechanism to make a specific correction. The goal is to restore FUNCTION, not necessarily straighten misalignments that may be normal for that individual.

I want to thank NJ for al the magnificent help that I received from his Chiropractive Service. Prior to coming to see him I had serious issues in regards to my lower back and my right knee. I was contemplating having surgery for both issues. I only came because m girlfriend made the appointment. Once I saw NJ I made it known that I did not beleive in Chiroprctors. Well I am amazed to say that my issues are 80 to 90 percent better and I am no longer contemplating surgery. Thank you NJ!

After living in Seattle quite some time we have moved but come to visit often. Most recently for 3 weeks while I was nearing the end of my pregnancy with a breech baby. One of the recommendations my providers gave me was to consider chiropractic care to encourage baby to turn. I chose Dr. NJ based on location and insurance coverage and I am really happy those paths led me to his practice. Regardless of position for baby, I left each visit feeling better aligned, relaxed, comfortable and energized. I waited to post this review in case I could also declare our baby is head down aaaaannndd HE IS!

I started going to Dr NJ because of a pinched nerve in my back, no other chiropractor helped me… DR NJ is the only one to help me with my pain, I’m about 90% better now, he really cares about his patients, I recommend him to everyone with pain, or if you just want to come for a maintenance care, you won’t be disappointed!!!

I was fortunate to be seen by Dr. NJ when he lived on Oahu. He left and I picked up another chiropractor in the clinic. A year and a half later, I moved to Mukilteo, I was surprised he was so near in Northgate. Sure, there are closer chiropractors up where I live, but with Dr. NJ, he really cares and the trip is worth it. If I move out of the area, I'm taking him with me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was in really bad shape when I first saw Dr. NJ. I could barely turn my neck to the left and I was carrying around my head with my hands. I searched for someone local so I could walk. I couldn’t drive. I was able to make a same day appointment. I instantly felt comfortable seeing he has a separate waiting room and exam room. Dr. NJ took his time and explained every part of the intake to me. Took X-Rays of my spine which helped to see what is going on with my posture. It was a roadmap to get me back to much better alignment. That paired with the exercises he showed me made for an impressive re-evaluation two months later. I’m really happy to have found Dr. NJ. I think you will be too.
