You do not require a doctor’s referral to be assessed and treated at CK Performance and Chiropractic. However, some extended health insurance policies will require that you submit a Doctor’s referral in order to process your claim. We recommend that you call your insurance provider to determine what they require in order to reimburse your payment.

We recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing for your assessment and follow up visits so that our health practitioners can perform a thorough assessment and provide effective treatments. Try to expose the area where the problem is. For example, If it is a shoulder issue, it is best to wear a tank top, if it is a knee issue, it is best to wear shorts and if it is a back issue it is best to wear a loose top that can be easily moved for assessment purposes. If you are unsure how you should dress for your condition, do not hesitate to call and ask us before your appointment, (203) 951-9115.

The time frame for your initial assessment and follow up visits will depend on the nature of your condition and the type of service you are receiving. Typically, the initial appointment will be about 1 hour long and follow ups sessions are anywhere between 20-45 minutes. It is best to come early enough that you can get changed (if needed) and ready for your appointment. This will maximize the amount of time for your one-on-one session with your doctor.

On your first visit to CK Performance and Chiropractic we will need you to fill out some paperwork prior to seeing the doctor, please arrive 15 minutes early for this process. Alternatively, we can email you the patient paperwork to be filled out in the comfort of your own home prior to your appointment. Once all paperwork is complete you will begin your session with the doctor which will include: A complete initial assessment discussing the following: Medical history Your current problem/concerns Current diet, supplements, medications, sleep patterns, stress levels in addition to all other pertinent lifestyle information Pain quality, what aggravates and relieves your pain Review any imaging (If applicable) Goals for treatment Next the doctor will complete a physical evaluation including: Observing and touching the area and surrounding areas Looking at the movement of the joint Testing the strength of the surrounding muscles A neurological screening will be performed to see how the nerves are functioning in the area Any other specific tests relating to your condition will be performed if needed, some of these tests may provoke your symptoms.
