New Patients at Sands Chiropractic
We’re so glad you’ve chosen our practice for you and your family’s wellness care in Polk City and Ankery. Our approach goes beyond quick fixes and instead looks to boost your body’s innate ability to heal itself. We take the time to understand each patient’s story, identify what’s holding them back, and create a personalized plan to help them move better, feel stronger, and live the active life they want.
How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
Before your first visit, you’ll receive a link to complete your new patient paperwork online through our secure portal. If you prefer paper, we also offer printable forms you can fill out at home and bring them. You can choose whichever option works best for you. On your first day, wear comfortable clothing and bring any health records you’d like us to review.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
During your first visit, you can plan to spend about 20 to 30 minutes with us. During this appointment, Dr. Justin Sands will complete a consultation to understand your health goals and concerns.
We’ll also conduct a Kinetisense™ movement analysis, which is an advanced screening tool that evaluates your posture, gait, and range of motion to pinpoint patterns that may be contributing to your issues. We also use InBody body composition analysis and take digital X‑rays when clinically appropriate, giving us a clearer picture of your structural health.
Taking the Next Steps Toward Improved Health
In most cases, we’ll schedule a second appointment for a detailed Report of Findings, as soon as the next day. During this visit, Dr. Justin will review your results, explain any X‑ray findings, and discuss your goals and his clinical recommendations. Together, you’ll create a customized care plan that fits your lifestyle.
As a cash-only practice, we can spend the time with you that’s necessary to address your individual needs. Before any services begin, we’ll review our financial options, including flexible memberships, wellness packages, and payment methods such as HSAs, FSAs, and CareCredit. Most patients receive their first adjustment during the second visit.
