What Happens at Your First Visit
We know that trying a new chiropractor can feel like a big step — especially if you've never been to one before, or if past experiences didn't meet your expectations. At Willow, your first visit is designed to give you answers, not rush you into treatment. Your experience is tailored to your stage of life, whether you’re here for pregnancy chiropractic, pediatric chiropractic, or adult chiropractic care.
Here's how it works:
Step 1 — Free Initial Consultation
Your visit begins with a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Alyssa. She'll listen to your health history, your concerns, and your goals. This is your time to ask questions and decide if Willow is the right fit — with zero pressure and zero obligation.
Step 2 — Comprehensive Examination
If you choose to move forward, Dr. Alyssa performs a thorough neuro-spinal examination. This includes a neurological assessment to evaluate how your nervous system is functioning, along with postural and spinal analysis. The exam is gentle, non-invasive, and gives Dr. Alyssa the objective data she needs to understand what's happening in your body.
Step 3 — Your Report of Findings
After reviewing your exam results, Dr. Alyssa will walk you through a personalized Report of Findings. You'll see exactly what's going on, understand why you're experiencing what you're experiencing, and receive a recommended care plan tailored to your needs. No cookie-cutter protocols. Just a clear path forward.
