The Lakewood Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Lakewood

Your First Visit

DDr. Haygood taking x-ray of new patient.

Plan on spending about one hour for your initial visit to our office.  You will be greeted by our warm and caring staff.  We will ask you to fill out an initial case history questionnaire so Dr. Haygood can review this with you upon your consultation with him.  You will also view a 5 minute video welcoming you to what chiropractic is all about.

Feel free to discuss your case history with Dr. Haygood in the privacy of our consultation room, after viewing the video.  After reviewing your case history, Dr. Haygood will recommend going forward with a spinal examination and x-rays, if needed.  If he feels your condition is not a chiropractic case, he will refer you to the proper specialist.

We understand that feeling nervous about being in a new office and meeting a new doctor can be stressful and we will do everything in our power to make you feel relaxed and welcomed.  Wear comfortable clothes and enclosed shoes, such as dress shoes or tennis shoes.

After an examination and/or x-rays are performed, you will be asked to schedule an appointment for the following day. If you are in a lot of pain on your initial visit, Dr. Haygood may treat you on that same day with a symptomatic adjustment.

You may also be given instructions to perform at home that day, after your initial visit, such as resting, using ice or heat, etc.

Also, if you have insurance that covers your chiropractic care, it is essential that you bring this information with you on your initial visit so our staff can verify your benefits, and determine whether you have a deductible and/or co-pay towards your care.

Dr. Jeffrey Asks some important questions of interest to Lakewood residents - Chiropractor Lakewood Dr. Jeffrey Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Lakewood residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Lakewood parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
