Your First Visit
When you come to our Lacombe office you will feel welcomed and cared for.
On your first visit you should expect to be with us about 45 to 60 minutes. We will ask you to complete some forms that will let you tell us all about the reason you are seeing us. Please bring your Alberta Health Care number as this will cover a portion of your visit fee.
Because Dr. Haitsma will be conducting an exam on your spine please wear loose fitting clothing without a large collar. Try to avoid wearing a turtle neck that day. Please leave your necklaces at home and if you wear earrings be prepared to remove them.
The exam typically includes a postural analysis, computerized scan of your spine, measuremnts of how far you can turn your head, neck and lower spine and x-rays if necessary. Most x-rays are taken in the office. Of course, during this whole time if any questions arise Dr. Haitsma will answer them.
At the conclusion of the consultation and examination you will be asked if you have not already done so to make an appointment for the next day or two for your follow up and first adjustment. This allows Dr. Haitsma to study your exam findings and study your x-rays to determine the best way to approach your particular circumstance.
