Here's exactly how it goes.
From parking lot to checkout. So you walk in knowing what to expect and can focus on getting better.
Book online
Select "Initial Visit" in the online booking system. You'll get a confirmation with the address, parking info, and a link to your intake forms.

Fill out your health history, current concerns, and goals online before you arrive (easiest with our online platform) or come 15 minutes early and complete them in the clinic. Either works.
Before your visitMovement assessment
Dr. Austin performs a thorough Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) watching how you actually move, identifying restrictions, and finding the real source of your pain. Not just where it hurts.
~15–20 minCare plan review
Dr. Austin walks you through exactly what he found, what's driving it, and what the treatment plan looks like. You'll understand your body better after this conversation than you have in years.
~10 minFirst treatment
Treatment begins at the first visit adjustments, soft tissue work, corrective exercises, or a combination depending on what your assessment revealed. No waiting for visit two.
~15–20 minNext steps & checkout
You'll leave with a clear plan how often to come in, what to do at home, and what to expect over the coming weeks. Billing and scheduling handled at checkout.

How long is the first visit?
Plan for 45–60 minutes for your initial visit. Follow-up visits are 20-30 minutes. We'll never rush through an assessment to save time, but we won't waste yours either.
Heads up on calls
Dr. Austin is a solo provider! If you call and he doesn't answer, he's likely with a patient. Leave a voicemail or send a text and he'll get back to you quickly. Online booking is available 24/7 and is the fastest way onto the schedule.
After your first visit
You may feel some mild soreness for 24–48 hours, this is completely normal, similar to post-workout soreness. Drink water, move around, and let us know at your next visit how you responded.
"I've heard chiropractic is..."
We hear these a lot from new patients. Here's the honest answer to each one.
💬"I'm nervous about the cracking sound."
The sound is just gas releasing from the joint, the same thing that happens when you crack your knuckles. It's painless and not harmful. If you're uncomfortable with traditional adjustments, we have several low-force alternatives that are just as effective.
💬"I'm worried it will hurt."
Most patients feel immediate relief. Some experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours, especially after the first visit. All techniques are adjusted to your comfort level. You're always in control, and we'll stop and adjust anything that doesn't feel right.
💬"I don't want to be pressured into lots of visits."
We'll give you an honest recommendation based on your assessment — not a sales pitch. Some patients are in and out in a few visits. Others choose ongoing maintenance care as part of their health routine. Both are completely valid. We'll never recommend more than your body actually needs.
💬"I'm not sure if chiropractic can actually help me."
If it can't, we'll tell you. After your assessment, Dr. Austin will give you a clear picture of what's going on and whether chiropractic care is the right fit. If you need to see someone else, we'll point you in the right direction, because getting you better matters more than getting you on the schedule.
