What to Expect on Your First Visit
At Toth Chiropractic and Wellness, you can expect to complete a full medical history questionnaire and new patient paperwork on your first visit. You will then consult with Dr. Toth. This consultation is your opportunity to discuss your health concerns and past health history with the doctor.
A physical exam will be performed which may include:
- Orthopedic testing
- Reflex assessments
- Muscle testing
- A specific chiropractic evaluation
- X-rays, which can be done right in the office, may be necessary to determine an exact diagnosis
Then, depending on your situation, Dr. Toth may give you an adjustment or begin physical therapy, if needed. Adjustments should not be painful, although you may feel some discomfort until the pressure in the joint is relieved. Depending on your condition, Dr. Toth may schedule a series of visits for care.
Two of the basic components of chiropractic care are wellness and prevention. Exercising, along with nutrition and lifestyle modifications, may also be suggested to improve your overall well-being and promote active patient-centered care. To get started on your journey for better health, contact us

Why Should You See a Chiropractor
From professional athletes to engineers, young people to seniors, chiropractic care has been the answer to optimum health. Many people see a chiropractor for back, neck or other joint problems. Others find that regular visits to their chiropractor keep them in peak condition.
What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment? Is it Safe?
An adjustment is the main method of treatment used by your chiropractor. It is a specialized, controlled and safe pressure applied to your spine to restore the proper motion and position of your vertebrae. It is a precise procedure that your highly skilled chiropractor has learned and perfected over years of training and in clinical practice.
How Long Do Doctors of Chiropractic Go To School?
Today’s graduating doctors of chiropractic have studied and trained in a post-secondary college or university for at least seven years. Just like medical or dental students, they must first complete undergraduate studies before applying for admission to a chiropractic college.
Becoming a chiropractor is a demanding and highly rewarding path that includes a minimum of 4,500 hours of intense academic study, including classroom learning, clinical science, and internship training.
Your chiropractor is a primary care provider just like your family physician. You do not need a referral from your medical doctor to see a chiropractor.
