The Studio City Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Studio City

What to Expect

We do a very thorough initial consultation so be sure to reserve an hour to an hour and a half. This way we are able to address your specific situation and tailor your care accordingly.

On Your First Visit

Initial Office Visit Intake Forms

Upon entering our office, our hostess will welcome you and invite you to fill out our initial office visit intake forms. We will request that you complete our intake forms located in the Reception Are. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your health status and condition.

Consultation

Next, you will have an initial consultation to discuss your health-related concerns, problems and health goals. This initial visit is specifically designed by the doctors to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, we will perform a complete chiropractic evaluation with testing to see your posture, spinal motion and flexibility. This includes a computerized nerve scan to determine if your body is "tensing" in an abnormal manner. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, and physical tests may be performed as well. However, nothing will be performed in our office without your consent.

Digital X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take digital X-rays as well. The digital X-rays are extremely low-exposure compared to older 'film' techniques and help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their Digital X-rays up close as our system can zoom in to see high detail.

On Your Second Visit

Report of Findings

After we study your health history and correlate our examination findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings.

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 situations, and in the professional judgment of Dr. Katlein, we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.

During this visit, we will give you a detailed report of all findings and recommendations including:

1. How we can help you.
2. How often you would need to come in.
3. What your treatment will cost.

We will provide your specific recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. We have a reputation for providing the best and most complete treatment and wellness program for your needs.

A Typical Office Visit

After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length, and this is not so.

A typical office visit may include adjustments, traction, stretches and exercises, massage, or physical therapy. It really depends on your unique situation.

We see the majority of our patients for about 20 minutes for a regular visit. As a patient, you are welcomed and encouraged to stay as long as needed to complete stretches and exercises in our physical therapy area.
