Member Forms
Upon entering InnerNature Chiropractic, April our Chiropractic Assistant, will greet and welcome you. If you have not already done so, the new member health history forms will then be filled out; they are also available now in the New Patient Center. The paperwork provides us with vital information about you and the challenge you may be having.
Consultation
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Erika Arndt to discuss your health-related challenges and concerns. Your inital, visit is designed for Dr. Erika Arndt to learn more about you, your expectations, and to see if we can assist in moving you toward your health goals. After the complementary consultation, a recommendation to proceed with the examination will be made if Dr. Erika believes you are in the right spot! 
Examination
If it is determined that we can be of assistance in helping you reduce your health challenge and meeting your health goals, Dr. Erika will perform a complete chiropractic examination; this exam will consist of utilizing state of the art technology, the Insight Millenium Subluxation Station, to test for interference within your bodies vital healing capacity--your nervous system. In addition an orthopedic, postural, and physical examination will be conducted.
X-Ray Studies
Your specific challenge may lead us to take x-rays of the spinal column. X-rays allow us to rule out more serious conditions while assisting us in developing the most effective treatment plan for helping you reach your goal. To see is to know and to not see is to guess; we are committed to providing thorough, comprehensive care that is based on findings and not presumptions. Members are fascinated upon seeing their x-rays and often times identify the subluxations, or misalignments, along with the wear and tear and degeneration to the underlying framework themselves. Upon completion of this First Visit, April will set you up for your Second Visit where your Report of Findings will take place. The inital two contacts are by far the most lengthy and the most valuable in discovery.
Report of Findings
After assessment of the data gathered at the first visit, Dr. Erika Arndt will lead you through your report of findings, helping you to understand:
- Can you help me?
- What is wrong with me?
- What do you recommend I do to reduce my challenge along with helping me to reach my health goals?
- How much is it going to cost?
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing all thermal, autonomic, and x-ray tests, if Dr. Erika Arndt knows you are in the right place, she will discuss appropriate recommendations and a care plan that is tailored to help you reach your health goals in the shortest period of time with the least expense. If the doctor believes that she cannot help you or if you have a condition that requires care with another provider, the doctor will tell you and refer you out. 90% of the members accepted under care benefit with fantastic health gains and results (please see the online testimonial board for details).
Adjustments & Education
At the conclusion of this second appointment, all members accepted at InnerNature will be provided with their first of a series of specific spinal adjustments. Dr. Erika focuses her care on releasing the innate healing capacity with 'finesse' instead of force; this creates a wide range of member base from the newly born to the elder and wise. Education is paramount and only secondary to the healing chiropractic adjustment. We are committed to reducing the subluxations above atlas, along with below atlas on each and every visit. Your care is designed to be interactive, fun, and empowering... please feel free to express any desires or concerns you may have along the journey with us.
