The Manchester Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Manchester

Your First Visit to Our Manchester Practice

An initial visit, whether it be chiropractic or physical therapy, typically lasts between 75 and 105 minutes. New patients should bring insurance cards, referrals, any previously taken x-rays and/or x-ray reports if available, related medical records or contact information so that we may request them if necessary and reading glasses if needed to fill out paperwork.

You can expect to be greeted warmly by reception, asked to provide insurance card, any needed referral, applicable co-payment and then provided with new patient paperwork. After the paperwork is completed a member of our clinical staff will escort you to an exam room where your pulse, weight, height and blood pressure will be recorded. Shortly thereafter, Dr. John Merrick will enter and begin a physical examination and obtain a detailed verbal medical history. He will begin a dialog with you regarding the reason for your visit and he will address any questions or concerns you have. He will discuss the treatment plan he recommends for you

After the exam treatment will begin immediately to include the taking of x-rays if necessary, at which time you may be asked to remove some clothing and put on a gown.  After your visit you will be escorted back to reception and scheduled for any additional visits, if necessary.

You can expect Dr. Merrick to call you at home that evening to see how your experience at our clinic was and how you feel after your first treatment. This call will help the doctor fine tune your individual plan.
