New patients
Your first visit
Your first visit sets the foundation for your care. We take time to learn your history and to let you get to know your doctor.

What happens at your first visit
- We go over your medical history and what brought you in.
- Dr. Dieringer examines you. Before any chiropractic treatment, a basic exam makes sure this care is right for you.
- We take X-rays if they are needed, here in the office.
- You get a clear plan, and we answer your questions.
How to prepare
Being prepared helps the doctor give you the best care, and it can ease any nerves. Read about your symptoms on this site, have a look at our team, and bring a photo ID and your insurance card.
Patient forms
Save time at your first visit: print the forms, fill them in and bring them with you.
Insurance and payment
We accept most insurance plans and check your benefits for you before you start. We take cash, checks, Zelle and credit cards, and offer a flexible payment plan. Insurance and payment
