What to Expect On Your First Visit To Brighton Hill Chiropractic

Our office is centrally located and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Central New York region (see Our Office page for the link to directions). Intrepid Lane is a planned business community with many health professional offices and other services on a cul-de-sac. Our office location is safe, well lit and there is plenty of parking.

Once in the office, our warm friendly staff will be available to greet you and assist you with your initial paperwork. We participate with most insurance plans and also offer cash plans for those without chiropractic coverage. Our chiropractic assistant will take and notate your height and weight, grip strength and blood pressure and then a thorough face-to-face history and examination by a staff chiropractor will be followed by x-rays, if indicated.  If it is determined that yours is not a chiropractic case at this time, we will refer you to an appropriate specialist.  If we do accept your case, treatment is often started on the first visit. You should plan to be in the office for about an hour on your first visit. Most patients leave our office after the first visit feeling better. You will be given a goody bag with sample products and self-help information to help you get started on your return to feeling great!

Follow up care includes regular treatment, exercise and lifestyle recommendations with periodic reevaluations to chart progress. Our primary focus is to help you feel better as quickly as possible.  We understand that your life does not revolve around going to the doctor and that your ultimate goal is to be able to do the things you find meaningful while feeling good! We will aim to help you achieve that goal on an ongoing basis. First working towards symptom relief and secondly striving for longterm healing so you are less likely to have a recurrence of the problems that you came in to resolve.

Our bodies are similar to machines in that they require reasonable daily care and periodic maintenance. Once your symptoms improve we will guide you towards better overall health with recommendations appropriate for your situation. Sometimes this also involves collaborative care with other providers. Your primary care doctor can help you with pain medications when needed in severe cases. Recommendations and referrals for physical therapy and massage therapy also may be added to your treatment plan. Diet, exercise, posture and nutritional recommendations are usually reviewed. Chiropractic care can recalibrate the alignment and function in your body. With healthful living and proper body mechanics many people find an improved quality of life returning that they never thought they would have again. This is our goal for you.

Our office is special because everyone who works at Brighton Hill Chiropractic has a commitment to service. We all profess to believe in God (even though we represent many different religions) and we understand that our lives are fulfilling a greater purpose as we strive to help others. 

We are here for you, your family, friends and neighbors. Please feel free to contact us regarding any questions or feedback you have. Within your life and in the lives of others in your circle of influence you have ongoing opportunities to make a difference. Help us help you and others you care about function at your best. Make chiropractic care part of your life today and after it has helped you, recommend chiropractic to others. We look forward to working with you to make our community a better and healthier place, one person at a time.
