A written home list
Each drill, how often and when to stop.
How long, how often, and what we do not claim
How long and how often
Drills are short and are changed at each recheck. Your chiropractor sets how often you come, and we don't promise a number of visits or a date for a result.
What we do not claim
These exercises don't treat an inner ear problem, a stroke or any other disease. If your signs point to one, we refer you to a physician.
How it is paid
Plans differ on what they pay for exercise visits, and some pay for none. We check first, and if you pay yourself you get a written estimate before you come.
Questions about this visit
What if an exercise makes me feel worse?
Stop, sit down and tell us. We change the drill, and if you are alarmed, call us or a physician.
Do I need a walker or a cane?
Tell us what you use. Your chiropractor plans around it.
