Your choice for Seattle Area Chiropractor and Wellness Care

Your First Visit

Consultation

At your first consultation, Dr. Philip Kogler will discuss your health-related concerns and questions, as well as potential treatment options.

This visit allows us to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine how chiropractic care may help you meet your goals.

Examination

After the consultation, Dr. Philip Kogler will test your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend, as well as other neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, you may require x-rays to get a full evaluation. Our state-of-the-art facilities include a Gonstead specific 14 x 36 inch full spine X-ray machine. It's designed to help us in develop an effective corrective care plan for you.

Many of our patients are amazed that they can identify their misalignments and any history of spinal degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

After the consultation and examinations are completed, the doctor will give you a report of findings and answer the four most popular questions:

• What's wrong with me?
• Can you help?
• How long will it take?
• How much will it cost?

After considering your history and your goals, examining your spine, and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. Philip Kogler will discuss recommendations with you. We'll let you know whether or not you have a condition that requires care with other providers. If Dr. Philip Kogler believes that he can help you, he will recommend corrective chiropractic care and a wellness
program.

Treatment

Patients will generally receive their first treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. This may include massage therapy, spinal adjustments, and nutritional recommendations. Please feel free to express your concerns at any time—our treatment is interactive. We can use the style of adjustment with which you will be most comfortable.

Wellness Program

Before you leave, you'll receive instructions on a home wellness program. This may include heat or ice application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions. If you're interested in an overall wellness lifestyle, our team will work with you on creating good habits and routines that will support your success. Every human body is unique and different, so we develop a unique and customized wellness plan. The foundation of our wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, following a healthy diet, taking helpful supplements, keeping your weight under control, and stress relief.
