New Patients: Start Your Chiropractic Journey

What New Patients Can Expect

Preparing for your first visit at Oberster Chiropractic is simple.


  • 1. Complete Your New Patient Forms: New patients begin with brief paperwork covering health history, current concerns, patient financial responsibility, and cancellation policies. Completing new patient forms before arriving helps the team understand your needs and keep your appointment focused.

  • 2. Come Prepared: Bring relevant medical information and be ready to discuss symptoms, goals, and questions.

  • 3. Your Consultation: During your consultation, Dr. Oberster listens to your concerns and explains appropriate care options.

  • 4. Examination and Digital X-Rays: A detailed history and examination may include posture checks, range-of-motion testing, and specialized assessments to identify affected tissues and contributing factors. When clinically appropriate, digital X-rays may be recommended to rule out serious conditions and support a clear plan.

  • 5. Same-Day Treatment and Home Instructions: If chiropractic care is appropriate, same-day treatment may be available, followed by home instructions such as stretching, ice or heat recommendations, and activity guidance.

  • 6. Schedule Your Follow-Up: Before you leave, the team will help schedule a convenient follow-up, often within one to two days, to review findings and discuss personalized treatment options.

Every step is designed to make starting care comfortable, informed, and convenient.

Treatment Options

Pain Relief Care

Patients come to us with some type of pain, condition & symptom, and their goal is to be as pain- and symptom-free as possible in the shortest time possible. With this intensive care, treatment continues until you are symptom-free. Should your symptoms return, you simply call us, and we start intensive care again.

Maintenance Care

Having achieved good results with the intensive care, most of our patients want to ensure that any recurrences are kept to a minimum, so they enjoy periodic checkups to ensure that their nerves, muscles, and joints are working in harmony. This is like your periodic dental checkup.
