What Happens During Your First Visit: A Walkthrough of a Typical Appointment at Our Panama City Beach Clinic

Visiting a chiropractor for the first time can feel unfamiliar - especially if you’re not sure what to expect. At Chiropractic Worx in Panama City Beach, our goal is to make your first visit comfortable, informative, and focused on your specific needs. Led by Dr. Jon Sherman, our clinic takes a personalized, evidence-based approach to chiropractic care, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.

Step 1: A Warm Welcome & Easy Check-In

 

When you arrive at Chiropractic Worx, you’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team. We’ll help you complete any necessary paperwork and verify insurance information, if applicable. If you’ve filled out forms ahead of time, check-in is quick and seamless. Our team understands that your time matters, and we strive to keep appointments running smoothly while still allowing plenty of time for thorough care.

Step 2: One-on-One Consultation

 

Your first visit includes a detailed consultation with Dr. Jon Sherman, where he’ll take the time to truly listen. You’ll discuss:

•           Your current symptoms or pain concerns

•           When and how the issue started

•           Past injuries, surgeries, or medical history

•           Lifestyle factors such as work demands, physical activity, and stress

This conversation is a crucial part of understanding the root cause of your discomfort—not just the symptoms.

Step 3: Comprehensive Chiropractic Examination

 

After your consultation, Dr. Sherman will perform a thorough physical examination. This may include:

•           Posture and spinal alignment assessment

•           Range of motion testing

•           Neurological and orthopedic evaluations

•           Muscle strength and flexibility checks

If needed, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays may be recommended to gain a clearer picture of your spinal health before beginning care.

Step 4: Clear Explanation of Findings

 

One of the most important parts of your first visit is understanding what’s going on with your body. Dr. Sherman will explain his findings in clear, easy-to-understand terms and answer any questions you have.

You’ll learn:

•           What’s contributing to your pain or discomfort

•           How chiropractic care can help

•           What areas of the spine or joints need attention

There’s no pressure - just education and transparency.

Step 5: Personalized Care Plan

 

Every patient is different, and so is every care plan. Based on your exam and goals, Dr. Sherman will outline a customized treatment plan that may include:

•           Chiropractic adjustments

•           Soft tissue therapy

•           Mobility or stretching recommendations

•           Lifestyle or ergonomic guidance

•           Cold laser therapy
