Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our Administrative Staff will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition. Remember to bring your Alberta Health Care Card with you, and your Insurance information, as we Direct Bill some Insurance companies. Remember, if you insurance doesn't cover all our Fees you are responsible to cover that amount.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Steve Kim to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Kim to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how Chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Kim 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.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Kim may ask you to take X-rays. Why? Because the X-rays help Dr. Kim develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert him of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignment and degeneration themselves, which implies a different approach for your Chiropractic Treatment Care.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Kim will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Kim will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Kim will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs. We offer Special Pricing for Senior, Youth.
