Your Treatment Journey
at Johnson Family Chiropractic & Sports Clinic

The team at Johnson Family Chiropractic & Sports Clinic believes great care begins with understanding. From your very first visit, our goal is to make you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in your healing process. While every patient’s needs are unique, most care plans follow a similar step-by-step path designed to help you feel better, move better, and live better naturally.

Below is an overview of what you can expect when you begin care with us.

1. A Warm Welcome and Initial Consultation

Your journey starts with a friendly welcome from our team. We’ll take the time to discuss your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, and goals. This conversation helps us understand the full picture of your health and what you’re hoping to achieve through chiropractic care.

This step includes a personalized conversation about your symptoms and goals, review of past injuries, medical history, and lifestyle habits, and an explanation of what today’s visit will involve.

2. A Thorough Chiropractic Examination

Next, we perform a detailed exam to understand how your body is functioning. This may include orthopedic tests, neurological testing, posture and movement assessments, and palpation of the spine and surrounding tissues.

Depending on your condition, we may also recommend X-rays to get a clearer view of spinal alignment and underlying structural issues.

3. Clear Diagnosis and Personalized Care Plan

After reviewing your exam findings (and X-rays if taken), we’ll explain what’s causing your discomfort, how your spine and nervous system are being affected, and which treatments can help you find relief.

You’ll receive a customized care plan that outlines:

• Recommended adjustments or therapies
• Frequency and duration of visits
• At-home support, such as stretches or lifestyle tips
• Expected timeline of improvement

Our goal is always transparency, clarity, and collaboration.

4. Gentle and Effective Chiropractic Treatment

Once you understand your diagnosis and plan, you’ll typically receive your first adjustment. We use gentle, precise chiropractic techniques tailored to your needs—whether you’re dealing with pain, injury recovery, pregnancy-related discomfort, or pediatric concerns.

Treatments may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, posture and mobility support, and home care recommendations. We go at your pace and always prioritize your comfort.

5. The Relief Phase

In this phase, the goal is to help you feel better as quickly and safely as possible. Many patients begin noticing less pain, better mobility, and improved sleep as the spine and nervous system start functioning more efficiently.

You may experience reduced tension and inflammation, gradual improvement in movement, and increased stability.

6. The Corrective and Strengthening Phase

Once symptoms improve, we shift focus to correcting underlying imbalances that caused the problem in the first place. This phase is essential for long-term results and helps reduce the chance of recurring issues.

This stage may include:

• Continued adjustments
• Strengthening exercises
• Posture retraining
• Mobility or stability work

7. Wellness and Performance Care

Many patients choose ongoing chiropractic care after they reach their initial goals. These visits help maintain alignment, support an active lifestyle, and keep your nervous system functioning at its best.

Some people come monthly, others every few weeks; it depends on your needs and goals.
