What should I do to prepare for my first appointment?
At Helix Physical Therapy & Chiropractic, we want to ensure that your first physical therapy appointment is a positive and productive experience. Here are a few things you can do to prepare for your first appointment:
- Fill out your forms ahead of time: Please go online and fill out our forms, print out the patient forms, complete them, and bring them with you for your initial evaluation. If you cannot do this or do not have access to a printer/computer, please allow extra time to fill these out upon arrival.
- Arrive early: Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork to maximize your time in your evaluation.
- Bring any relevant medical information: If you have seen a physician or other healthcare provider for your condition, please bring any medical records or notes to your appointment. This will help our physical therapists and chiropractors better understand your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
- Bring insurance information: If you intend to use insurance, please bring your insurance information so we can make a copy of your card for our records.
- Wear comfortable clothing: Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement. This will allow our physical therapists and chiropractors to perform a thorough assessment and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
- Come with questions: We encourage you to come to your first appointment with any questions or concerns. Our physical therapists and chiropractors are here to guide you every step of the way and ensure that you have a positive and productive experience.
- Be open and honest: Our holistic approach means considering your entire well-being, including your physical, emotional, and mental health. Please be open and honest with our physical therapists and chiropractors about your condition, pain levels, and your goals for treatment. This will allow us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Motor Vehicle and Workers Comp: In case of an automobile accident or worker’s compensation claim, bring any case manager or insurance adjuster’s contact names, phone numbers, and claim numbers.
