What to Expect During Your Visit
New Patient Visit
During your new patient visit we begin with a comprehensive review of your medical history. Understanding past injuries, pre-existing conditions, and your overall health allows us to create a chiropractic treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Next, we take the time to listen to your current concerns. Whether you're dealing with pain from intense training, an accident, repetitive stress, or everyday activities, Dr. Fortune performs a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Your visit includes a detailed examination and chiropractic adjustment when clinically appropriate. By restoring proper spinal alignment, chiropractic care helps improve nerve function, enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and address muscle imbalances that can contribute to pain and restricted movement.
Depending on your condition and goals, Dr. Fortune may also recommend manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises and other treatment strategies to support long-term healing, improve function, and help prevent future injuries.
Through careful examination, tailored treatment plans, and specialized techniques, Dr. Fortune strives to help patients reach their full potential in healing and recovery.
Follow Up Visit
At Fortune Chiropractic, every follow-up visit is focused on helping you continue making meaningful progress. We believe exceptional chiropractic care is about more than a quick adjustment. It is about evaluating your recovery, addressing changes in your condition, and providing the right treatment to keep you moving toward your health goals.
During your visit, Dr. Fortune will review how you've responded since your last appointment, discuss any new concerns or changes in your symptoms, and perform a chiropractic adjustment when appropriate. Your treatment plan is continually refined based on your progress, ensuring your care evolves with your needs.
What truly sets Fortune Chiropractic apart is our emphasis on manual therapy. In Dr. Fortune's more than 20 years of clinical experience, combining chiropractic adjustments with skilled hands-on soft tissue treatment consistently delivers better outcomes than adjustments alone. Manual therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, restore healthy movement patterns, and support faster, longer-lasting recovery, taking chiropractic healing to the next level.
Because manual therapy is not covered by most insurance plans, it is offered as an optional add-on service for patients using insurance benefits. For our self-pay patients, we offer a variety of treatment and service levels that combine chiropractic care with additional therapies, allowing you to choose the level of care that best fits your needs, recovery goals, and budget.
Follow-up appointments vary in length depending on the type of visit and services you choose. Regardless of your appointment level, Dr. Fortune takes the time to answer your questions, provide guidance for your recovery, and ensure you understand the next steps in your care.
Our goal is not only to relieve your current symptoms but also to identify and address the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. Through consistent follow-up care, personalized treatment plans, and a commitment to treating the whole person—not just the symptoms—we help you recover more completely, move with greater confidence, and maintain your long-term health.
Appointment Changes
When our office books your appointment, we prioritize your needs by reserving a dedicated time slot exclusively for you. We believe in providing personalized care, which is why we do not double or triple book our appointment slots. This ensures that you can expect us to be running on time for you, allowing you to plan your day effectively.
However, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, requiring you to reschedule or cancel your appointment. In such cases, we kindly request that you provide us with at least 24 hours notice. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in giving us advance notice, as this allows us to offer your reserved time slot to another patient who would be grateful for the opportunity. With your help, we can ensure that everyone receives the care they need.
Please note that any changes to your appointment, including cancellations, made with less than 24 hours notice will incur a $50 fee. This policy helps us manage our schedule effectively and provide the best service to all our patients.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in adhering to our appointment policy. Your commitment to your health is greatly valued, and we appreciate your cooperation in enabling us to serve you and our community better.
