• Directions to your home or workplace
• Parking Information
• Access Codes, Apartment Numbers, Etc.
If you have pets, please disclose them beforehand and ensure pets are put away as needed for the visit.
New Patient Appointments (30-45 Minutes)

• A comprehensive health history review
• A thorough exam to ensure chiropractic care is safe and appropriate for you
• A discussion of your health concerns and goals
• A specific, gentle, chiropractic adjustment
• A personalized care plan recommendation
​
If Dr. Lyv determines that additional imaging (such as x-rays) is necessary for safety reasons, you may be referred out before receiving your first adjustment. The goal is always to ensure you care is safe, effective, and tailored to your body's needs.
