Your First Visit to our St Charles Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

When you come for your first visit, if you haven't downloaded and completed our admission forms from our website, you will be asked to complete the necessary forms before the doctor sees you. Your first visit will take about an hour.

Dr. Di Carlo will be conducting an in depth consultation of your current and past health-care history in addition to a comprehensive physical examination of the area of your main complaint. Once this is completed, the doctor will make some preliminary decisions as to whether or not your case will respond to chiropractic care.

If the doctor believes your current condition will be better served elsewhere, he will refer you to the appropriate health-care provider. If he believes yours is a chiropractic case, he will prescribe physical therapeutics to aid you in dealing with the discomfort that brought you into the office. At that point you will be released from care with home care instructions, and if necessary, a requisition to have x rays taken. Then you will be scheduled for your second visit.

We Explain Everything First

The purpose of your consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem.

Patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!

Take a look to see what you can expect during your second visit.

 Dr. Joseph Asks some important questions of interest to St Charles residents - Chiropractor St Charles Dr. Joseph Asks...

What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
How does headache medication find the headache?
It can't! Chiropractors know that when you ingest a drug and it enters your bloodstream it numbs or deadens your entire body. Chiropractic adjustments, on the other hand, are specific, targeted and delivered with precision.
