Your First Visit to Northwest Family Chiropractic

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

Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and to provide a great first impression.  Your first visit in our office is just that....YOURS!  It's YOUR opportunity to tell us why you've come in, what is important to YOU and what YOUR health goals are.  This starts when our staff presents your new patient paperwork which includes questions about you and your health.  Answers to these questions help us determine where the rest of your first visit goes.

Typically, our chiropractic evaluation procedures involve a detailed consultation and history of your problems or concerns, a thorough physical examination, and x-rays to check the health of your spine and determine the potential cause of your problems.

Once completed, we will then schedule your Recommendations for Care visit, which is where we report our findings from the first visits, discuss your options for care, and answer all of your questions!  This appointment usually takes about 30-45 minutes.

Dr. Marisa  Asks some important questions of interest to Shoreline residents - Chiropractor Shoreline Dr. Marisa Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Shoreline chiropractic practice.
