Filling out forms

Patient Forms

When you arrive at the office, you’ll be welcomed by our receptionist just like you’re a member of the family! You’ll have a few patient forms to fill out about your medical and health history as well as any application insurance. These forms help us to get to know you so we can apply the very best treatment and help you feel better!

Patient Forms

Consultation

After your forms are all done, you’ll move on to a visit with Dr. Llaird Likens. You’ll go over your health history as well as any current problems, pain points and symptoms. Once Dr. Likens has a full picture about you and your reasons for seeking treatment, he will explain some potential treatment options.

Examination

After your chat, Dr. Llaird LIkens will conduct a comprehensive chiropractic examination that tests posture, reflexes, flexibility, range of motion and more. He will apply standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests as well. Dr. Likens will explain what he is doing as he goes to help you feel comfortable and informed.

X-Ray Studies

Dr. Likens may also take X-rays, depending on your condition and examination. X-rays give more details and help Dr. Likens to develop an effective treatment plan with as much information as possible. X-rays also alert him to any serious spinal conditions. In addition, Dr. Likens can use X-rays to explain why you’re feeling the way you do. Since so many of us are visual learners, this can be very helpful for patients as they can start to see their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Dr. Likens will also give you recommendations to other providers should it be necessary.
