West Seattle's Roxbury Clinic
Your First Visit
On your first visit to our office you will be welcomed to the world chiropractic and you will be greeted with a warm smile by one of our staff. You will then be asked to fill out a few forms which will help us gain some information about yourself and your condition so that we can better serve you.
Dr. Lawrence will then discuss with you your situation and ask you some specific questions regarding your condition to determine if chiropractic care may be of benefit to you. If the Dr. Lawrence determines that he can help you and you decide you want to come under care he will let you know exactly what needs to be done. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Examination
After a thorough consultation with Dr. Lawrence, you will have a complete chiropractic examination. This will include testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well other standard orthopedic, neurologic, postural, and physical examinations. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition so that a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you. If necessary, the doctor may take x-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures to better help you with your needs.
X-Ray
An x-ray is usually required to get a full evaluation of a patient. The need for x-ray is considered on a case by case base basis. Our equipment is state of the art for imaging and is done on-site.
Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, Dr. Lawrence will sit down with you to give you a report of findings, discuss your x-rays with you and share with you his recommendations for a treatment program. At this point he will be able to document the frequency of visits and the time frame required to achieve desired results.
Treatment
Most of our patients begin to see results from the very first adjustment. Our special gentle yet effective alignment of the body is interactive with the patient, gentle enough for kids (they love us), yet able to restore function and movement for the athlete and senior. Dr. Lawrence will check your alignment both before and after the treatment. You will start noticing remarkable results after each adjustment. You will forward to each visit at the clinic.
