New Patients
at Chiropractic Center of Delano
Welcome to Your First Visit: What to Expect
We Make Getting Started Simple and Stress-Free
Choosing a new healthcare provider can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with pain or recovering from an injury. At Chiropractic Center of Delano, we’ve designed our new patient experience to be as comfortable and straightforward as possible. From your first phone call to your first adjustment, our friendly team will guide you through each step with clear communication and genuine warmth.
Complimentary Initial Evaluation for New Patients
One of the unique aspects of starting care with us is our commitment to making sure we’re the right fit for you before any financial commitment. We offer every new patient a complimentary initial examination because we want to determine whether we can truly help you with your specific condition.
This isn’t a brief consultation or a sales pitch—it’s a thorough 30 to 45-minute evaluation where Dr. Cunanan will take the time to understand your health history, perform comprehensive testing, and give you honest feedback about whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation. We’ve actually referred patients to other specialists when we’ve determined that chiropractic wasn’t the right solution, because your wellbeing matters more to us than adding another patient to our schedule.
Before Your First Appointment
To make your first visit as efficient as possible, we ask that you bring the following items with you to your appointment:
Your insurance card and valid California driver’s license or ID.
Any previous medical records, X-rays, or MRI results related to your current condition. *These are helpful but not required for your appointment.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. If we’ve never seen you before, you will need to fill out our “New Patient” paperwork. We are happy to send this to you in advance if you’d prefer to fill it out at home.
We recommend you wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. Dr. Cunanan will need to observe your posture and movement patterns, so clothing that’s too restrictive might make the examination more difficult.
Most importantly, come prepared to be an active participant in your care. We’ll be asking questions about your symptoms, your health history, and your goals for treatment, so the more information you can share, the better we can customize your treatment plan.
Welcome to Your First Visit: What to Expect
Your first appointment is a thorough evaluation where Dr. Cunanan will take the time to understand your health history. He will perform a thorough physical examination that includes orthopedic testing, neurological assessment, and evaluation of your muscle balance and flexibility. This comprehensive assessment allows us to address the root cause of your pain. If x-rays are needed, we can take them right here in our office during your first visit, eliminating the need for you to travel to another facility and wait for results.
Dr. Cunanan typically provides your first adjustment during your initial visit, as long as the examination shows that it’s safe and appropriate to do so. Most patients are eager to start feeling better, and there’s no reason to make you wait if we can help you right away.
After your adjustment, Dr. Cunanan will discuss his findings with you in detail. He’ll explain what he discovered during the examination, what he believes is causing your pain, and what he recommends for your treatment plan.
