Your First Visit

Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.


Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.


Examination

After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent.


Report of Findings

Once the information is collected  and examinations are performed, the doctor will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
  1. How can you help me?
  2. How often do I need to come in?
  3. What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, your doctor will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. The doctor will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.


Treatment

 At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.


Wellness Program

Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.

"Dr. Doody consistently provides an extremely high quality of care. I always feel better after my adjustments, and my shoulder / upper back pain has dramatically improved since my first appointment. Would highly recommend Dr. Doody and this practice to anyone!"

"I started going to Dr. Sean Bradshaw for back pain over the summer. From the very first appointment, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Bradshaw did cupping, adjustments and soft tissue massage which all helped alleviate my pain. He also gave me exercises that I still do most nights. Dr. Bradshaw considered my whole self in recommending treatment and he's a great listener -- I highly recommend Harvard Chiropractic!"

The office manager is so warm and welcoming, and she really makes the whole experience smooth from the moment you walk in. Dr. Doody is exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping you feel better. His treatments have made a noticeable difference for me, and I always leave feeling more aligned and pain-free. Highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking effective, compassionate chiropractic care in a professional and friendly environment!"
