You’ll find that Spinal Care Chiropractic is a bright and modern place with a welcoming, friendly staff ready to greet you. Sit back, relax, and feel at ease in our warm, healing environment!
New Patient Forms
The First Visit
Before your appointment, we’ll send you a reminder message to confirm your schedule and provide our new patient intake form. You may complete it at home for convenience, or at the clinic on the day of your visit. We encourage filling it out beforehand so our chiropractor can review your information in advance.
If you have any previous scans or medical reports (X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans), please bring them along as they will help in your evaluation.
When you arrive, if you haven’t completed the intake form yet, you’ll have the chance to do so. We will then take posture analysis photos and perform gait, neurological, and balance testing to better understand your condition.
After these initial steps, you’ll meet with Dr. Su for a comprehensive consultation and full spine chiropractic examination. This includes the use of the Nervo-Scope®, which detects heat differences in spinal tissues, along with motion and static palpation to assess spinal function.
Please note that treatment or adjustments are not performed during the initial consultation. Dr. Su will first review and correlate all your findings, including scans and test results. On your second visit, he will explain the results in detail and present a personalized care plan—at which point you may begin your first adjustment.
The Importance of X-rays
If you don’t have X-rays prior to your appointment, we provide you with a request to have them done at Fullerton Health BGC and St. Luke’s Global City.
If you had previous X-rays that are not sufficient or need to be redone, we can also give you a request to redo the X-rays. Digital images of your X-Rays need to be sent to our clinic before your next appointment in order for Dr. Daniel Su to analyze it and prepare his detailed chiropractic report.
The Second Visit
For the second appointment, we will delve into the chiropractic exam findings and carefully analyze the X-rays. Afterward, a comprehensive report will be provided, and we will have an in-depth discussion about the treatment plan and schedule. In addition, we will make sure that you feel comfortable and ready to begin any necessary treatments or adjustments during this appointment.
How Our Follow-up Appointments Are Different
At our practice, we take a careful and unique approach that sets us apart from many other clinics in the Philippines. Instead of performing adjustments right away, Dr. Daniel Su prioritizes a thorough assessment first to ensure your care is precise and individualized.
Some patients may assume that bringing in X-rays means they can be adjusted immediately. However, Dr. Su takes the time to review your X-rays in detail and correlate them with the findings from your chiropractic evaluation. This allows him to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and health goals.
For this reason, adjustments are not performed during the initial consultation. On your second visit, Dr. Su will explain your results in a clear Report of Findings and present his recommendations. Only then will your first adjustment be given, ensuring it is done with safety, accuracy, and confidence.
Personalized Care Plans
Consistency is key to getting the best results from chiropractic care. While we understand that not everyone can commit to frequent visits long-term, we recommend starting with two visits per week for the first 2-3 weeks. This initial phase allows us to closely monitor your progress and see how your body responds to the adjustments over time.
After this period, the frequency of your visits will be adjusted based on your individual needs and improvements, whether that's once a week, every two weeks, or even every three weeks. This personalized approach ensures you receive the right level of care at every stage of your healing.
Follow-up Consultation
On your second visit, your chiropractor will provide a comprehensive Report of Findings. This will include the results of your chiropractic examination, X-ray analysis, and a personalized treatment plan with suggested scheduling. Additional recommendations may also be given based on your specific condition.
During this visit, you'll gain a clear understanding of the underlying cause of your health concerns and how we plan to address them step by step. You may choose to begin your first adjustment on this day, and we'll then arrange your follow-up appointments according to your individual needs.
