Whatever your goal, to maintain wellness or to find relief from a particular condition, we hope your experience at 1st Step Chiropractic is pleasant.
 
This page will help you understand what you can expect during your initial visit.
 
1st step is to call our assistants, Betsy or Sandy,  to schedule an initial no-charge consultation with no obligation. We value listening and understanding your story.
 
If Dr. Schalow thinks you may be a candidate for care, we will perform a thorough examination that involves chiropractic, medical orthopedic and neurologic tests. The goal here is not only to see what is going on with the joints, the nerves and the muscles, but also to establish the underlying cause.
 
If you are a candidate for upper cervical care, and only if you decide to undergo care, we take precise, very low dose x-rays to determine how to restore balance to your spine.
 
After a detailed analysis of the films, you will return at your next visit for a report of findings and your first adjustment.
 
Post adjustment radiographs are taken only after the first adjustment. At that point, Dr. Schalow will give his recommendations for a treatment plan that is tailored to your condition.
 
Should you decide to work with us to correct your problems, we are happy to work out a payment plan for you that allows you to get the care you need and pay for it at a rate that you can afford.
