Your First Chiropractic Consultation

In order to determine the precise cause of your problem, Dr. Luzzo will begin with a case history. This will give the doctor more insight and background information about your current condition as well as your past medical history. This is also a great time for you to discuss any questions or concerns you may have with Dr. Luzzo.

After reviewing your history and discussing your specific condition(s), a thorough orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination will be performed. If necessary, the doctor may request that x-rays be taken. The purpose of x-rays is to uncover any structural or functional problems that may be associated with the area of complaint as well as to formulate a more accurate diagnosis and individual treatment plan.

Following examination, Dr. Luzzo will explain her findings and discuss which of the services we provide would be best suited to address your condition. If the doctor feels your case would be more appropriately managed by another health care provider we will refer you to a specialist. We have excellent working relationships with many medical and alternative healthcare professionals in the Greenwich area.

Treatment on the first visit will depend upon the specifics of your condition. The doctor may recommend spinal manipulation and/or physiotherapy such as the use of ultrasound or traction among other modality options. Dr. Luzzo may also give self-treatment advice, which may include nutritional supplements, rehabilitative exercises, and the application of ice or heat. Follow-up visits will be scheduled according to your treatment needs. Re-examinations will also take place every few weeks to monitor your progress and/or make any adjustments to the current treatment protocol in place.

Please allow sixty minutes for the first chiropractic consultation.
