Your First Visit Should Give You Peace, Not Pressure

At SoVita Chiropractic Morristown, we believe healthcare should be:

• transparent

• educational

• family-centered

• and rooted in the body’s innate intelligence

Whether you’re seeking pain relief, better posture, improved mobility, or long-term wellness, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.

1. A Warm Welcome & Stress-Free Check-In

Our team greets you like family.
You’ll complete a short intake that helps us understand:

• What brought you in

• how long it’s been affecting you

• and what your goals are moving forward

This visit is aboutyou—your health, your story, your desired future.

2. The Consultation — Your Story Is the Starting Point

You’ll sit down with one of our doctors for a relaxed, conversational consultation.
We’ll explore:

• what challenges or symptoms you’re experiencing

• how they’re affecting your life

• what you want to be able to do again

• and what “feeling and functioning better” looks like for you

This sets the foundation for personalized chiropractic care—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

3. The Chiropractic Exam — Identifying Areas of Subluxation

Next, we perform a detailed chiropractic evaluation to understand how well your spine and nervous system are adapting—and to locatesubluxations.

A subluxation is a misalignment or dysfunction in the spine that interferes with normal nerve communication. Our exam is designed to detect where these areas are present and how they’re affecting your overall health.

Your exam includes:

✔ Posture Evaluation

Posture reveals patterns of imbalance, strain, and compensation that often point to underlying subluxations.

✔ Neurological & Orthopedic Testing

These assessments help determine:

• which joints aren’t moving properly

• where irritation or tension is affecting nerve pathways

• and how well your body is adapting to daily stresses

✔ Palpation & Motion Assessment

Your doctor will feel the spine for:

• misalignments

• swelling

• tenderness

• joint fixation
  These findings help confirm areas of subluxation.

✔ Nerve Function Scans (if needed)

These scans can show stress patterns in the nervous system, but they aresecondaryto your spinal X-rays.

Every part of your exam is centered around this question:
Where are the subluxations that are interfering with your body’s ability to heal and function at its highest level?

4. X-Rays — The Most Critical Part of Your First Visit

X-rays are the foundation of your care plan at SoVita Chiropractic Morristown.
We take X-rays to understand:

• the condition of your spine

• the position of your vertebrae

• whether degeneration is present

• and how long dysfunction may have been developing silently

X-rays give us the most accurate picture of:

• subluxations

• loss of curvature

• disc space thinning

• arthritic changes

• ligament instability

• postural deviations

This is why X-rays are emphasized more than scans—they give us structural certainty.
We never guess with your spine.

5. Why You Usually Don’t Get Adjusted on Visit #1

Because we prioritize precision, your doctor studies your X-rays and exam findings thoroughly before adjusting.

This ensures your first adjustment is:

• safe

• specific

• and corrective

We want your adjustment to be intentional—not rushed or generic.

6. The Doctor’s Report — Reviewing Your X-Rays in Depth

Your second visit is where everything becomes clear.
During the Doctor’s Report, we review your X-rays with you and explain:

• where subluxations are present

• what areas are misaligned

• what level of degeneration is developing

• and how long these problems may have been there silently

Patients often say this is the first time anyone has shown them the true condition of their spine.

Then we outline a personalized care plan designed to:

• correct subluxations

• restore proper alignment

• slow or stop degenerative changes

• and help your body express its God-given potential for healing

7. Your First Adjustment — Where Healing Begins

Once your doctor understands your spinal structure completely, your first adjustment is delivered with precision and care.

Many patients feel:

• lighter

• more relaxed

• more aligned

• or simply more “open”

It’s the beginning of your healing journey—restoring your body’s ability to function the way it was designed.
