New Patients

We encourage you to download our paperwork and bring it with you completed on your first visit to save time. Otherwise, please arrive around 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. We encourage you to come dressed comfortably.

This purpose of your initial visit is to thoroughly assess your spine and nerve system to determine the state of your health and to identify the underlying cause of your health issues.  You’ll sit down with Dr. Molato to talk about your health background and what brought you in to see us. He’ll explain all of the procedures you’ll do that day and then it’s time to get started. Some parts of the examination may require a gown, which we’ll provide. You can expect the following:

• Examination. Includes the assessment of your spinal alignment, joint range of motion, and the condition of muscles, discs and other soft tissues.
• Computerized Nerve Tests. These tests are non-invasive and comfortable. They measure how much and where spinal nerves may be affected or disturbed by misalignments.
• X-rays. If needed, we have state-of-the-art, digital x-rays in-house to look more closely at the condition of your spine.

When you return, you and Dr. Molato will discuss how you’re doing, review your condition and go over your test results. He’ll explain his recommendations for your treatment and discuss the option of wellness care if you’re interested. The expected cost of care will be discussed as well as your insurance coverage. If you’d like to begin care, we can provide your first treatment on this visit. You can expect to spend around 20-30 minutes here this time.
