Start Your “Doctor-Patient Work” Prior to Meeting Your Chiropractic Patient Face-to-Face
Before you find yourself face to face with your chiropractic patient, it’s essential to review the intake paperwork to know what type of case to expect. Consider what changes might need to be made in your current process to ensure you are capturing all relevant data to be evaluated. A good foundation means good doctoring.
Review the Data to Formulate Your Questions for your Chiropractic Patient Interview
The patient’s history is broken down into the chief complaint and three other sections; History of Present Illness (HPI), Review of Systems (ROS) and Past, Family, and Social History (PFSH). Master all the data, and get prepared to ask clarifying questions about what you discover in the completed intake paperwork. Good preparation will expedite the chiropractic consultation process while getting all the right data, quickly and efficiently.

I cannot put into words how much I appreciate you. I was becoming depressed and just felt I was going in circles. I don't think you can even realize what a profound effect you have and the gift you have of helping. I feel I have just been given a new friend and I can tell you that I have literally been praying for someone like you to come into my life. One of my favorite sayings is "when the student is ready the teacher appears" I am so ready. Thank you so much.
