NEW PATIENTS

Your First Step Starts Here

Trying a new chiropractor shouldn’t feel complicated. At Homegrown Chiropractic, we want you to understand what’s going on, what your options are, and why we recommend the care we do.
Your first visit is about getting to know you, understanding what brought you in, evaluating how your body is moving, and building a plan around your individual needs and goals.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST VISIT

We’ll start by talking about what brought you in, how long it’s been bothering you, what you’ve tried before, and what your symptoms are keeping you from doing.
Most importantly, we want to know what you want to get back to.
Your examination will be based on your individual condition and may include evaluating joint mobility, range of motion, strength, posture, neurological function, and movement.
We’re not just looking at where it hurts. We want to understand the factors that may be contributing to the problem.
Homegrown Chiropractic offers digital X-rays conveniently in our Fargo office.
When imaging is appropriate, X-rays can provide additional information about the spine, joints, and surrounding structures and help us determine the most appropriate approach to care.
We’ll explain our findings in straightforward, easy-to-understand terms and answer any questions you have.
You should understand what we think is going on, what we recommend, and why.
When appropriate, treatment begins during your first visit. Your care will be based on your examination findings, condition, lifestyle, and individual goals.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft tissue treatment, mobility work, corrective exercise, and rehabilitation.

No cookie-cutter treatment plans. Your care should have a purpose.

Wear clothing that allows you to move comfortably during your examination and treatment. Please bring shorts or a tank top if we need to access an extremity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Plan for approximately 45–60 minutes for your first appointment.

Yes. Homegrown Chiropractic accepts insurance as well as cash payments.

Insurance coverage and benefits vary by plan, so coverage for chiropractic care and other services will depend on your individual policy. Our team can help you understand your payment options and answer questions about using insurance at our office.

Please contact our office if you have questions about current pricing or payment options.
In most cases, patients can schedule directly with a chiropractor without first obtaining a referral. However, individual insurance plans may have their own requirements, so we recommend checking your specific benefits if you plan to use insurance.
X-rays may be taken when imaging is appropriate based on your history, symptoms, and examination.
Homegrown Chiropractic has digital X-ray equipment conveniently located in our Fargo office, allowing us to obtain imaging when needed without sending you to another facility.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. Athletic or loose-fitting clothing is ideal, especially if your examination or treatment includes movement assessment, mobility work, or rehabilitation.
If you have recent X-rays, MRI results, or other imaging related to your condition, bring them with you or let us know where they were performed.
We can review relevant existing imaging and determine whether any additional imaging is appropriate.
No.
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment schedule at Homegrown Chiropractic. Your recommendations are based on your condition, examination findings, goals, and how you respond to care.
As you improve, your treatment plan should progress with you. Some patients choose to continue with occasional wellness care, while others complete their treatment plan and return when they need us.

Our goal isn’t to keep you coming back forever. It’s to help you get back to doing what you love.

Homegrown Chiropractic provides individualized care for patients of different ages and activity levels, including children, teenagers, adults, athletes, expecting mothers, and families.
Treatment techniques and recommendations are modified based on each patient’s age, condition, comfort, and individual needs.
You don’t need to know before you come in.
Your job is to tell us what’s bothering you and what you want to get back to doing. We’ll evaluate what’s going on and determine which treatment options make the most sense for your individual condition.
Depending on your needs, that may include chiropractic care, dry needling, soft tissue treatment, mobility work, corrective exercise, rehabilitation, or a combination of approaches.

READY FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT?

You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong or which treatment you need before you walk through the door.
We’ll start by listening, evaluate what’s going on, and help you understand the next step.
