Getting Ready for Your First Chiropractic Visit
Get ready to feel your best! Here's everything you need to know—what to bring, what to wear, and how to prep—for a smooth and stress-free first chiropractic visit.
What to bring
Please bring your ID/Driver's License and any relevant medical records related to your condition, especially if you have visited any other medical provider(s) prior to your visit. If you plan to use health insurance, please bring your insurance card with you or call us at (510) 220-8211 so we can check your plan's coverage and benefit.
What to wear
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing around the areas where you are currently experiencing pain.
What to do
You can either fill out the new patient intake forms online or in person prior to your first visit. Completing your paperwork online will help to streamline your experience during your first visit so we can treat you sooner.
FEEL BETTER. MOVE BETTER. LIVE BETTER.
Chiropractic care helps restore balance to your body, ease pain, and improve mobility—so you can get back to living life to the fullest.
What to Expect After Your First Visit
Your body is adjusting! Here's what you might feel after your first visit—some soreness, possible relief, and the need to stay hydrated as healing begins.
Mild Soreness or Fatigue
It’s normal to feel a bit sore or tired—like after a workout. Your body is adjusting to new alignment and movement.
Improved Mobility or Relief
Some people feel better right away, with less tension or more movement in affected areas. Others may notice gradual improvement over several visits.
Hydration is Key
Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and support your body’s healing process.
