New Patients
at Progressive Chiropractic
Welcome to Our Victoria Practice
As a patient at Progressive Chiropractic, you’ll experience comfortable, thorough and pressure-free chiropractic care.
You’ll Be in Great Hands Here
We get that visiting a new healthcare provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never been to a chiropractor before. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming process that puts you at ease, focusing first on your comfort and ensuring you’re informed and confident about your care from day one.
Your first visit is a 30-minute appointment that combines a consultation, thorough examination, and your first adjustment. Before you arrive, you’ll complete our online forms from the comfort of your home, giving Dr. Mark valuable insight into your health history and current concerns.
Our Practice Is Committed to Helping You
When you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team, who will ensure your paperwork is complete and review your care plan for the day so you know what to expect. Our bright and clean office, filled with natural light, immediately sets a relaxing tone for your visit.
You may even receive a “hello” from Charlie, our beloved office mascot (a Chihuahua-French Bulldog mix who takes his greeting duties very seriously — when he’s not napping).
Dr. Mark will then welcome you, and you’ll have a relaxed conversation about your health goals, any previous chiropractic experience, and what brought you to our office. This isn’t a rushed consultation; it’s an opportunity for Dr. Mark to better understand your unique situation and answer any questions you may have.
Assessing Your Range of Motion
Your examination begins with simple range-of-motion measurements to understand how your spine is currently moving and functioning. Dr. Mark will then perform a hands-on examination, all while telling you what he’s observing and what it means for your care.
Everything is explained in easy-to-understand terms, and Dr. Mark never proceeds with any adjustment you’re not comfortable with. If you’re nervous about chiropractic care, don’t worry — our gentle techniques and patient-centred approach have helped many first-time patients feel completely at ease. This collaborative approach to your appointment will ensure you understand what’s happening with your body, and you’ll learn how adjustments help your body learn to heal itself again.
Receiving Your Personalized Care Plan
After your examination, Dr. Mark will sit down with you again to discuss his findings and recommendations. This includes a personalized care plan that takes into account your lifestyle, goals and preferences, as well as any exercises or lifestyle suggestions that might support your healing. Financial information is also discussed openly, so you know exactly what to expect.
If you decide to move forward with care, you’ll receive your first gentle adjustment. Whether that involves the drop table, electronic instruments, or a combination of approaches, everything is tailored to your comfort level and specific health needs.
Conclude Your Visit With a Complimentary Massage
Your visit concludes with 10 minutes of relaxation on our electronic massage tables, which provide gentle intersegmental traction while you watch helpful health tips on our monitor.
This time allows your adjustment to settle in and helps you get the most benefit from your care. Many patients tell us this is their favorite part of the visit!
Before you leave, we’ll schedule any follow-up appointments and ensure you have everything you need to continue your wellness journey successfully.
