Home / First Visit

Sixty minutes. Zero mystery.

Here's exactly what happens when you walk into our Johnson City office for the first time — step by step, so nothing about your visit is a surprise.

Step by step

Your first visit, from the front door.

Welcome & paperwork
You're greeted at the door and complete your intake forms — about 5–10 minutes, or nearly zero if you fill them out online ahead of time (links below).
Consultation
This part is all about you. We take an in-depth health history and talk through what you're dealing with right now, what you've already tried, and what you want to get back to — your goals set the direction for everything that follows. Bring your questions.
Assessment
Advanced scanning technology identifies and evaluates the underlying cause of your health concerns. Objective data, not guesswork.
Motion study X-rays, if needed
Only when your case calls for them. Instead of a single still picture, we take X-rays with you moving into different positions, so we can see specifically how your spine moves and where it's getting stuck. Digital X-rays are done right in the office — no referral or second trip across Johnson City.

Your second visit

A few days later, you come back for your report of findings. This is where the scans and X-rays turn into a plan.

Report of findings
We walk through your scans and any X-rays together, in plain English, so you can see exactly what we found and why it matters.
New patient orientation
Dr. Michael and the team spend extra time educating you on what to expect from care — because patients who understand their care heal better.
Your care plan
We lay out the plan, how long it takes, and what it costs — including your complimentary insurance benefits check — and answer every question before you commit to anything.
Your first adjustment
If you're ready, we start care that same visit.

Come prepared

No pressure, no surprise bills, no adjustment before you understand what's happening and why.
