| On the first visit, new patients complete the usual information about their medical history and details about the current pain that brought them to see Dr. Bagwell. |
| All new patients receive an appropriate general medical examination focused on their main complaint, as well as, a chiropractic examination of the spine or joint having problems. |
Next, our patients are sent to their choice of three medical imaging
facilities to get x-rays or other diagnostic tests performed. This
allows the patients get their x-rays done with the most modern up
to date equipment, AND a radiologist's evaluation of the films
from a medical perspective. The films are then sent to Dr.
Bagwell to be evaluated from a chiropractic perspective to see if
there are any vertebral problems with the spine that need
chiropractic treatment.

On the patient's second visit, Dr. Bagwell personally reviews
the x-ray report and the films themselves with the patient.
Based on the physical examination findings and the findings on
the x-rays, Dr. Bagwell recommends an appropriate treatment
plan. Some patients just need one or two treatments, while
other patients have more significant problems that require more
treatment over a period of time to facilitate healing. Each
patient is different and we base our treatment plan on each
person's individual situation.

New Patients
Dr. Bagwell then goes over the patient's current problem as well
as any pertinent questions about their over all medical history. As
a chiropractic physician, Dr. Bagwell feels it is very important to
determine whether or not the
patient's condition is a
manifestation of a medical
problem or a chiropractic
condition. If it is determined
the problem is a manifestation
of a medical problem, a medical
specialist may be needed instead
of a chiropractor. For example, kidney stones and other serious
problems can often appear at first to be back pain.
