Absolute Chiropractic explains what to expect from your chiropractic visits in Wall Township NJ.
Step 1: Your New Practice Member Application
Before your first visit, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed health application.
This isn’t just paperwork — it’s your opportunity to share what’s really been going on.
We want to understand:
- The challenges you’re facing day to day
- What’s worked (and what hasn’t)
- The goals you have for your health and your life
The more we know, the better we can serve you — and create a plan that’s personal, practical, and built around your goals.
Step 2: One-on-One Consultation
During your consultation, our doctors will sit down with you to talk through your history, health challenges, and what brought you in.
This is your time — no rush, no judgment, no medical jargon.
We listen first, because every patient’s story matters.
Our goal is for you to leave this visit with a sense of clarity and hope — understanding that there’s a plan and a path forward.
Step 3: Chiropractic Neurological Evaluation
Your body communicates through your nervous system — and when it’s stressed, it shows.
That’s why our evaluation focuses on how your brain and body are working together, not just where you feel pain.
Using advanced technology like infrared thermography (to measure inflammation) and surface electromyography (to measure muscle activity), we can see how stress is impacting your nervous system in real time.
No guessing. Just clear, measurable insight into how your body is adapting.
Step 4: Cranial, Palate & TMJ Evaluation (if necessary)
For infants, children, and adults with challenges related to the head, face, or jaw, our doctors perform a gentle and detailed cranial evaluation.
We assess the motion and balance of the cranial bones, palate, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) — areas that directly influence breathing, feeding, and neurological regulation.
This assessment is especially valuable for:
- Infants struggling with breastfeeding, reflux, or airway issues
- Children with speech, sensory, or developmental challenges
- Adults dealing with TMJ disorder, chronic migraines, or autoimmune symptoms
Our approach combines precision, gentleness, and deep neurological understanding — helping restore proper motion and communication throughout the cranial system.
Step 5: Brain-Based Neurodevelopmental Evaluation (if necessary)
When working with children and families, our doctors also perform in-depth brain-based developmental evaluations to understand how the nervous system is growing, adapting, and integrating information.
This includes assessments of:
- Primitive reflexes
- Gross and fine motor skills
- Auditory and verbal processing
- Visual and cognitive processing
By identifying areas of immaturity or disconnection, we can create a care plan that helps your child’s brain and body work together more efficiently — improving focus, coordination, behavior, and emotional regulation.
Step 6: Digital X-Rays (When Needed)
If necessary, we’ll take digital postural X-rays to understand your spine’s structure and alignment.
These images help us ensure your care is safe, specific, and based on real data — not assumptions.
Many patients tell us it’s the first time they’ve actually seen what’s happening inside their body — and finally understand why they’ve been feeling the way they do.
Step 7: Report of Findings
Once we’ve reviewed all your results, we’ll sit down together to go over everything — step by step.
You’ll learn:
- What we found and what it means
- How your nervous system is responding to stress
- What your personalized healing plan will look like
We’ll answer every question and make sure you feel confident moving forward.
Because when you understand your body, you can finally start to trust it again.
Step 8: Your First Adjustment
When it’s time for your first adjustment, you’ll notice something different right away — our approach is gentle, precise, and focused on calming your nervous system.
Each visit, our doctors perform a specific analysis to answer three key questions:
- Do you need an adjustment today?
- If so, exactly where and how should it be delivered?
- Did your body respond the way we intended?
By following this process every time, your care stays individualized, measurable, and effective — helping you progress toward lasting results.
What Patients Often Feel After Their First Visit
Many patients describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more relaxed after their first adjustment.
Some sleep better that night. Others feel like their body finally “exhaled” for the first time in years.
Every healing journey is unique — and we’ll walk with you through every step of it.
