New Patients at Houtz Chiropractic Center
We’ve designed a streamlined, thorough process to welcome you into our practice. From the moment you call, our team starts preparing to make your first visit exceptional. We look forward to helping you take that important next step toward better health.
Before Your First Visit
Once you schedule your appointment, we’ll send you detailed information to help you prepare. For the most accurate assessment results, we recommend avoiding caffeine and exercising for two to three hours before your visit.
You’ll receive your intake forms via email, which you can complete at home before your appointment to save time in the office. This lets us focus on what matters most—getting to know you and understanding your health concerns.
At The Initial Appointment
When you arrive, you’ll find a welcome note with your name waiting at the front desk—a small touch that patients tell us makes a big difference. Your first visit lasts approximately one hour and includes everything needed to start your care journey.
Dr. Houtz will conduct a thorough health history and advanced nervous system assessments using our CLA INSiGHT™ scanning technology. These painless, non-invasive scans provide objective measurements of your nervous system function.
Unlike traditional X-rays, our digital X-ray system lets us instantly view and analyze your spine’s structure. Dr. Houtz will show you the images and point out areas of concern.
What sets Houtz Chiropractic Center apart is that you’ll receive your first adjustment during this initial visit. Dr. Houtz explains each step of the process before it happens, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed throughout your care.
What to Expect On Following Visits
Your second appointment typically lasts about 20 minutes. Dr. Houtz will thoroughly explain your examination findings during this visit and recommend a customized care plan. At the desk, our CA Karen will schedule future visits and explain various payment options, including pre-payment plans that offer savings.
After your second visit, regular adjustments usually take only about five minutes. We also perform re-assessments with our scanning technology every 10-12 visits to track your progress objectively.
