Patient Forms

Please expect to arrive 15 minutes before your first appointment to fill out the necessary paperwork.  Upon entering our office our Certified Chiropractic Assistant, Kelly, will greet you and provide you with the proper paperwork.  The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

Consultation

Next you will have a consultation with one of the chiropractic physicians to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for the doctors to learn more about you, your condition, and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, if the doctor feels that we may be able to help you,  an examination including neurologic and orthopedic testing will be performed. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to get a full evaluation of a patient. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. 

Report of Findings

Once all the information and examinations have been performed, Dr. Ault will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions: 

1. Can you help me?
2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
3. How much is it going to cost?

After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. Ault will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If the doctor believes we can help you, we will recommend the appropriate treatment plan to get your problem corrected. 

Treatment

This may include spinal adjustments, physiotherapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.  There are a wide variety of spinal adjustment techniques and therapies utilized at Ault Chiropractic of Hudson.

Wellness Program
