The Portland Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Portland

Your First Visit to Our Portland Practice

Upon arriving at our office, you'll be asked to fill out some paperwork (or you can download the paperwork ahead of time from here, fill it out and bring it with you).

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.

Then we will perform a computerized, digital "Back Scan" or sEMG imaging of your neck and back showing the muscle tension along your spine.  This is completely painless and involves no radiation (although, you will need to remove your shirt for this one - again we have gowns).

Depending on your condition, Dr. Jameson may need to take X-rays but only the necessary views are taken.  Many times, X-rays are not necessary but if they are - we take them in the office at a greatly discounted rate over other facilities.

If you already had recent X-rays or MRIs, 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.
