Our process
At The Chiropractic Place in Montrose, our structured chiropractic process ensures every patient receives personalized, thorough care from the first visit. We take the time to understand your health history, evaluate your spine and nervous system, and create a customized plan that fits your unique needs and goals.
Complete new patient forms
Before your first chiropractic appointment, completing our new patient forms gives our team valuable insight into your medical history, current concerns, and wellness goals. This information helps Dr. Brian Miller and Dr. Riley Miller create a treatment plan specifically suited to your situation.
Forms cover your health background, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and objectives so we can focus on meaningful care rather than basic data collection during your visit.
Initial consultation
Your consultation with Dr. Brian Miller or Dr. Riley Miller is where we discuss your health goals, current symptoms, pain patterns, and lifestyle factors. We review your completed paperwork to understand your full health picture and identify how spinal health may be affecting your wellbeing.
This conversation helps us understand what success looks like for you whether it’s pain relief, better mobility, performance improvement, or family wellness.
Welcome tour & office orientation
The moment you step into our office, our team makes you feel comfortable and at ease. A friendly staff member will give you a brief tour, explaining our chiropractic process, the history of care at The Chiropractic Place, and the specific techniques and tools we use.
Feel free to ask questions about the doctors, our methods, or anything else our goal is complete transparency so you feel confident in your care from day one.
Thorough physical exam & digital imaging
When needed, we use:
- Digital X-rays for precise spinal alignment and structural analysis.
- Postural analysis to identify forward head posture or imbalances.
- Orthopedic and neurological tests for nerve function and stability.
- Range of motion measurements to track progress objectively.
