Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.  This information can be submitted directly to us online or presented at your first visit.  

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Dummar to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for our Doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic, acupuncture, and chinese medicine can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Dummar will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing  will be done in our office  without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may recommend X-rays as well. X-rays can help us develop a more effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of  any serious spinal conditions.  If you have had recent X-rays taken please bring them with you.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, you will receive a detailed report of all findings and answers to any questions including:

1. How can treatment help me?
2. How often do I need to come in?
3. What  will  my treatment  cost?

After reviewing your health history,  goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Ron Dummar will discuss recommendations and notify you if  your condition  requires care with other providers.   At Community Health and Wellness we are committed to providing the best  treatment and  wellness program for your needs.

Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial  appointment, you can choose to  experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, acupuncture, physio-therapy, an herbal prescription and/or soft tissue massage.  Treatment is interactive, so  you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.

Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, your doctor will suggest a  wellness program  to incorporate outside of treatment.  If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches.  If you desire,  our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle.  Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a  customized wellness plan.  The purpose  of our wellness program is for   you  to achieve good spinal alignment, have a  healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
