What to Expect at Your First Visit

Welcome & Overview

At Van Wyk Chiropractic, we know that visiting a chiropractor for the first time can bring both curiosity and questions. Our goal is to make your first visit comfortable, informative, and focused entirely on you.

You’ll meet Dr. Trevor Van Wyk, a third-generation chiropractor proudly serving Littleton since 2001, who combines modern, evidence-based care with decades of family experience. From your first conversation to your first adjustment, we’ll walk you through each step clearly so you know exactly what to expect—and why it matters.

Whether you’re here for back pain, neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, pregnancy care, or overall health and wellness, your visit is designed to help you move better, feel better, and live healthier—naturally.

 

Step 1: Consultation

Your first visit begins with a one-on-one consultation. Dr. Van Wyk takes time to understand your health history, symptoms, and goals so he can create a plan that truly fits your needs.

We’ll discuss:

  • Your current health situation
  • Any previous treatments or injuries
  • Your short- and long-term health goals

This first conversation is about clarity—understanding what’s happening and how we can help.

 

Step 2: Examination

Next comes a thorough chiropractic examination to identify what’s causing your discomfort or limiting your performance.

Depending on your condition, this may include:

  • Chiropractic spinal evaluation
  • Posture and movement assessments
  • Range of motion tests
  • Orthopedic tests

If imaging (such as X-rays) is needed, we’ll discuss why and what we’re looking for before proceeding. Everything is explained clearly so you understand each step of the process.

 

Step 3: Recommendations

After your exam, Dr. Van Wyk will review the results with you in plain language. You’ll learn:

  • What’s happening and why you’re experiencing pain
  • How chiropractic care can help
  • What your customized treatment plan will look like

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and the path toward improvement—no confusion, no surprises.

 

Step 4: First Adjustment (If Appropriate)

If appropriate, you may receive your first chiropractic adjustment during this visit. Dr. Van Wyk uses proven, precise techniques to reduce pain and tension, restore motion, and improve function naturally.

Every adjustment is tailored to your comfort level and specific needs, ensuring a safe and positive experience.

 

Step 5: Next Steps & Ongoing Care

Your care plan is designed around your specific needs. It may include:

  • Chiropractic adjustments
  • Home stretches and exercises
  • Posture and ergonomic guidance
  • Ice and heat recommendations

We’ll outline how often you should return, how long it may take to relieve your symptoms and heal the causes, and how you can keep your spine and body healthy for the long term.

Our ultimate goal is to help you relieve pain, regain function, stay active, and maintain your health naturally.
