What to Expect at Your First Visit
If you are new to Advanced Chiropractic & Massage, your first visit is designed to help us understand your condition and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
After completing your intake forms, you will meet with Dr. McCay to discuss your health history, current symptoms, and any injuries or concerns. If chiropractic care appears appropriate, Dr. McCay will perform an examination focused on the affected area. X-rays or other diagnostic imaging may be recommended when clinically indicated.
After the examination, Dr. McCay will discuss the findings with you and recommend an appropriate treatment plan. Most patients receive chiropractic treatment during their first visit. You may also be given stretches, exercises, or other recommendations to help manage your condition at home.
Many first visits take around 45 minutes, but timing can vary considerably depending on your condition, the complexity of your case, whether imaging is needed, what treatment is provided that day, whether your intake paperwork was completed in advance, and any insurance or billing questions. If you are coming during a lunch break or have a firm time constraint, please let us know when scheduling so we can help you plan appropriately.
Our Everett chiropractic office is located at 9212 Evergreen Way, Everett, WA 98204.
