When you come in for your initial appointment to ABCW for a consultation, Dr. Amnah will take down your history and ask you questions about your initial complaint as well as any other medical issues (including family history). Any radiological evidence such as x-rays/MRI or CT scans will be seen at this point.

You will then be asked to change into a gown and taken into the treatment area where a full spine exam will be conducted.

Following the exam, Dr. Amnah will explain the findings in a report of findings (ROF). You’ll be advised of any radiological investigations – such as x rays, MRI or CT – that need to be done at this point. The ROF will explain the cause behind your symptoms. Keeping in mind your history, Dr. Amnah may tie up the cause to any injury, stress or toxic exposure that may have precipitated the spinal stress you are experiencing.

What to expect from an ROF:

- Time frame (number of sessions per week, and for how many weeks) for resolution of acute and or chronic symptoms.

- A way forward detailing return to function in terms of activities and exercises.

- You will also be given a timeline regarding when you can initiate heavier gym/pilates/sports activities. If the symptoms aren't traumatic, and you have come in for a routine nervous system check up and general alignment, you’ll be able to continue the above activities in conjunction with your chiropractic visits.

Once the ROF has concluded, you will be given a rundown of our charges per session. This will conclude your first visit with us! You can then schedule your treatment visits at the front desk.

You will be provided with a definitive way forward in terms of a diagnosis and a timeline for correction geared towards resolution.
