Before Your First Visit
To make your first visit as productive as possible, we encourage you to bring any recent or past diagnostic imaging or test results, including:
- Digital X-rays
- MRI reports or images
- CT scans
- Any written summaries from previous providers
These records help Dr. Whitney understand the full scope of your condition and ensure your care is accurate and customized from the start.
If you have any questions before your first visit, call us and our friendly staff will be happy to help you.
Your First Chiropractic Visit
Your first appointment will take approximately 45 minutes, as we dedicate this time to thoroughly understand your health concerns and evaluate your condition. Here’s what to expect:
- Warm Welcome and Paperwork
You'll be greeted by our friendly staff and asked to complete some new patient intake forms if you haven't already submitted them online. - Comprehensive Consultation
You'll meet with Dr. Richard Whitney, a trusted Naperville chiropractor with decades of experience. He'll take time to discuss your health history, current symptoms, and any lifestyle factors contributing to your pain or discomfort. - In-Depth Examination
Your physical evaluation may include orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic assessments to identify spinal misalignments, nerve interference, or structural imbalances. - Digital X-Rays (If Needed)
We utilize advanced digital X-ray technology right here in our Naperville office to get precise insights into your spinal health. This allows us to diagnose conditions such as disc degeneration, misalignments, joint dysfunction, or spinal arthritis with greater accuracy. - Your First Gentle Chiropractic Adjustment
If appropriate, you’ll receive your first chiropractic adjustment on the same day. Dr. Whitney uses a variety of proven techniques, including Activator Methods®, Diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson Drop Table, all tailored to your specific needs and comfort level.
Your Second Visit
During your follow-up visit, Dr. Whitney will review your exam and imaging findings in detail.
You’ll receive a
personalized care plan outlining:
- Your diagnosis
- Frequency and type of chiropractic care
- Home-based rehab exercises
- Ergonomic recommendations
- Lifestyle guidance to support long-term healing
Education is a core part of your care. We believe that informed patients heal faster and stay healthier. Dr. Whitney will ensure you fully understand your condition and the steps you need to take to feel better—now and in the future.
Ongoing Chiropractic Care
Your subsequent visits will be shorter in duration and focused on applying your treatment plan. You’ll receive ongoing chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises. Patients who follow their customized care plan often report:
- Reduced pain and inflammation
- Improved posture and mobility
- Enhanced nerve function
- Better sleep and energy
- Lasting relief from chronic conditions like sciatica, neuropathy, disc problems, headaches, sports injuries, and more
