What to Expect at Your First Chiropractic Visit
A step-by-step look at a first chiropractic appointment: paperwork, consultation, exam, possible X-rays, your care plan and how you may feel after.
Here’s exactly what to expect when you come to see us for the first time, from your paperwork to your first adjustment.
Your first visit, step by stepFirst, when you arrive at our chiropractic office in Shoreview, we’ll ask you to fill out our new patient intake forms. This paperwork provides us with basic information about you, as well as your medical history and a description of your condition.
Save time: you can fill these forms out ahead of time.
Fill out the intake formsNext, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Andrew Krueger to chat about your health-related problems and concerns, as well as potential treatment options.
This initial visit is designed for Dr. Andrew Krueger to understand exactly where you are with your health and provide a roadmap to get you feeling your absolute best.

After your initial discussion, Dr. Andrew Krueger will perform a complete chiropractic exam. This is to get hands-on and see exactly what is going on with your body currently.
Nothing will be done without full explanation and your consent.
After the exam is completed and analyzed, Dr. Andrew Krueger will give you a “report of findings” that details everything discovered during the exam.
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Andrew Krueger will discuss recommendations for your treatment to help get you to optimal health.

At the end of your first appointment, you can choose to experience your first chiropractic adjustment. This may include:
Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment at any time.

After your first treatment, our team will determine if ongoing wellness care makes sense for your health. These plans are designed to help maintain optimal health for your spine and your body.
Keeping on top of your spine’s misalignments helps prevent future issues from arising and keeps you feeling great.
