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.

This conversation helps us understand what success looks like for you whether it’s pain relief, better mobility, performance improvement, or family wellness.
