New Patients at Sell Chiropractic
If you’ve ever gone to a social event where you didn’t know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel. Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home.
Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important that our relationship can go the distance. We’ve found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises! The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you’ll enjoy. It’s as simple as that.
- First Visit:
To find out if we can help you, we ask questions and listen.
- Second Visit:
We’ll report what we found and answer all your questions.
- Regular Visits:
A typical visit will be much shorter, but just as important!
Your First Visit
You’ll be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way! New patients often remark how “homey” our office is. That’s good, because our goal is to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care in a comfortable surrounding.

Make Yourself at Home
You’ll find plenty of convenient parking and a well-lit parking lot. You’ll be greeted by name when you enter our office. If you’ve already completed your admitting paperwork, great! If not, after doing so we’ll likely show you a short 4-minute video and then you’ll meet Dr. Sell.
A screening, which is always performed at our expense, will be done first. The screening consists of a posture check and a palpation exam. Posture tells us a great deal about the condition of your spine and the likelihood that you have subluxations. Palpation is the feeling of the vertebrae and pelvis to determine their movement or lack of movement. If nothing is found in these first two tests, then there is no need to proceed. If something is found, a further examination including a detailed history will be recommended. This exam may or may not include x-rays that are done right in our office. Your exam will be completed and you will be on your way in approximately 45 minutes.If you have insurance that you would like to use, or if you are unsure if your insurance covers chiropractic, bring your insurance card and we will gladly verify it for you during your screening. Upon exiting on your first visit, you will be set up for a Report of Findings with Dr. Sell. This report will review in detail what was found in your examination and x-rays (if you needed them). Patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!
Your Second Visit
After we study your health history, correlate our examination findings, and perform a comprehensive analysis of your x-rays (if necessary), we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings and it is accomplished in approximately one hour. This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be later the same day or the following day. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:
- Reduces the length of your first visit
- Gives us time to correlate our findings
- Avoids overloading you with too much information
In certain circumstances we make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.
Regular Visits
After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length. In a word: no. A typical visit may require just a few, highly focused minutes. But don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up what your spine and nervous system need, adjust you, and get you on your way.
Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and we can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes. We recognize your time is valuable. We do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.
