Your First Visit
What to expect, how to prepare, and how we’ll support you every step of the way.
Welcome to Healing Hands Wellness & Chiropractic Center
We understand that visiting a chiropractor for the first time can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make your first visit comfortable, informative, and stress-free. From the moment you walk through our doors, our team is focused on listening to your concerns and creating a care plan tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re seeking pain relief, recovering from an injury, or focused on long-term wellness, your first visit is designed to give you clarity and confidence in your care.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your initial appointment is focused on understanding you — your symptoms, your goals, and your health history.
Your visit may include:
A consultation to discuss your concerns and medical history
A physical and postural examination
Movement and mobility assessments
Diagnostic imaging if necessary (i.e. x-rays)
A clear explanation of findings and recommended care options
If appropriate, treatment may begin during your first visit.
Chiropractic Care Tailored to You
No two patients are the same. Your chiropractor will take time to explain what’s happening in your body and how chiropractic care may help. We believe informed patients make better decisions about their health, and we welcome your questions throughout the process.
Care is always:
Personalized
Conservative and non-invasive
Focused on long-term results, not just temporary relief
What to Bring to Your Appointment
To help your visit run smoothly, please bring:
A valid photo ID
Insurance information (if applicable)
Any relevant imaging or medical records
Comfortable clothing that allows movement
If you have completed forms ahead of time, your visit may be even more efficient (Download new patient paperwork).
How Long Does the First Visit Take?
Your first visit typically lasts 45–60 minutes, allowing ample time for evaluation, discussion, and care. Follow-up visits are usually shorter.
“Both Dr. Wiewel & Dr. Milo are incredible! I have had the pleasure of being under their care for the past couple of months and I am very pleased and happy with my results. I had suffered with minor back pain for over a year. When the pain worsened I made an appointment and the treatment helped right away. I highly recommend this practice if you’re searching for a chiropractor!”
