New Patient Questions
01 What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit begins with a discussion about your health history, symptoms, concerns, and wellness goals. Our team will review your information, perform an appropriate examination, and explain the findings and recommended next steps. We want you to feel comfortable, informed, and involved in your care.
02 What is included in the Spine, Movement & Function Assessment?
The assessment may include a review of your health history, posture, spinal mobility, joint movement, range of motion, muscle function, and relevant orthopedic or neurological tests. The exact evaluation depends on your symptoms and individual needs. Any additional testing will be discussed with you.
03 How much does the assessment cost? Does insurance cover it?
The cost depends on the services required and your insurance benefits. Baker Chiropractic accepts most insurance plans and can help verify your coverage before your appointment. Please contact our team to confirm assessment fees, deductibles, copayments, and any out-of-pocket expenses.
04 Do I always need an X-ray?
No. X-rays are not necessary for every patient. Your chiropractor will determine whether imaging is clinically appropriate based on your symptoms, medical history, and examination findings. If imaging is recommended, the reason will be explained before proceeding.
05 What will I get after the assessment?
After your assessment, your chiropractor will explain the findings, discuss factors that may be contributing to your symptoms, and outline appropriate care options. Depending on your needs, recommendations may include chiropractic care, movement exercises, home-care guidance, and lifestyle advice. You will have an opportunity to ask questions and understand the proposed next steps.
06 How do you check if I am getting better?
We monitor your progress by discussing changes in pain, mobility, daily activities, and your ability to perform movements that matter to you. Follow-up examinations and appropriate functional assessments may help us evaluate your response to care. Your treatment plan can be adjusted based on your progress and goals.
07 When will you refer me to a medical doctor?
If your symptoms suggest a condition that requires medical evaluation, diagnostic testing, or treatment outside our scope of practice, we may recommend referral to an appropriate medical professional. Urgent or potentially serious symptoms may require immediate medical attention. Your safety and appropriate care remain our priority.
08 Which conditions do you mainly treat?

- Back pain and neck pain
- Sciatica and radiating pain
