The initial visit is approximately 45 minutes long. It comprises a consultation, review of case history, high-speed digital x-rays, posture and range of motion assessment, evaluation of spinal biomechanics, gait analysis, and any additional tests deemed necessary by Dr. Caroline to assess spinal dysfunction.

The second visit, the Report of Findings, lasts around 20 minutes. During this appointment, Dr. Caroline discusses the spinal exam findings and x-rays, outlines the treatment plan, and presents payment options.

Subsequent visits typically last between 10 to 15 minutes on average, depending on the services provided. We welcome everyone to participate in chiropractic care to the extent that they are motivated and able to do so.

Progress depends on many factors, including genetics, degree of spine and nerve damage, past spinal trauma, current level of fitness, and willingness to follow through with the treatment plan.

Our recommendations stem from examination findings, clinical expertise, and biomechanics, neurology, and orthopedics principles. Following Initial Intensive Care, patients may transition to Wellness Care, where the emphasis shifts to maintaining progress. During this phase, we focus on enhancing posture, flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, nutrition, and stress management.

Balance Atlanta will verify your insurance at the time of your second visit. Until insurance benefits are verified, patients are on a cash basis, and payment is due in full at the time of service.

Typical office visits are brief, with minimal to no waiting time. However, patients undergoing RPW Shockwave therapy, Class 4 Laser therapy, or spinal decompression therapy should allocate additional time for their appointments.

Modern life stressors, such as technology use, backpacks, sports, and daily challenges, can impact spinal health at any age. Therefore, children must receive spinal checks throughout their growth stages.

For adults, maintaining a stress-free nervous system through chiropractic care is essential for managing the demands of aging, family life, and career. Who wouldn’t want to remain active with a healthy mind and body as they age?

Chiropractic care enhances the body’s healing ability by addressing physical, chemical, and emotional stressors that can disrupt the nervous system’s communication with muscles, organs, and glands. Like a well-oiled machine, your body is naturally designed to function smoothly.

We achieve this by providing adjustments, promoting proper nutrition, encouraging exercise, and teaching stress management techniques. These interventions restore balance and harmony, enabling you to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
