Your First Visit to Our Clackamas Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

Upon arriving at our office, you'll be asked to fill out some paperwork.

Then you will get to speak with Dr. Jameson privately in a treatment room about your condition and your goals for care.

Dr. Jameson will examine you (this is usually done without you having to disrobe). It's a good idea to wear loose, comfortable clothing. But if you forget, we have exam shorts or gowns to change into.

Depending on your condition, Dr. Jameson may need to take X-rays but only the necessary views are taken. Most of the time, X-rays are not necessary but if they are we will refer you to an imaging center that is convenient for you.

If you already had recent X-rays or MRIs (within the last year), be sure and bring them with you for Dr. Jameson to review.

If appropriate and if you are a clear candidate for our kind of therapy, you may be offered a treatment plan at the end of your first visit - after some education about how and why chiropractic works. That's when, you'll receive a Report of Findings with an appropriate treatment plan from Dr. Jameson.

If you decide to accept this treatment plan and the part you will need to play in it, you might be able to start care right away.

If there are complications or X-rays are needed, then the Report of Findings and a treatment plan will be presented on your second visit. We like to be thorough and since a lot of people come to us with misdiagnosis, we want to make sure that we haven't missed anything.

Next, what to expect at your second chiropractic visit.
