What Would I Expect Becoming a New Patient?
-
Upon arrival our staff will review the New Patient forms and prepare it for the Doctor. You will then meet with Dr. Perrino for approximately 45 minutes to discuss your health history. Dr. Perrino will then perform an examination to determine whether we can be of service. Once your case is accepted, a physical exam (orthopedic and neurologic), and range of motion measurements and radiographs (x-rays) will be performed.
Minor patients:
A parent or legal guardian must accompany any patient under 18, complete the intake forms on their behalf, and remain present for the examination and treatment. If you are bringing a minor for a pre-participation sports physical, please bring any school or league forms already filled out, along with the minor's health history and a list of current medications. -
Dr. Perrino will review findings from your examination including your x-rays. Your customized correction will be discussed and performed using the Atlas Orthogonal (AO) Percussion Instrument. This means no manipulation, twisting or popping will be used. You will rest for a period of time following the correction. Following your correction, Dr. Perrino may take a post-correction image to verify alignment. Whether this is necessary depends on your individual findings and will be discussed with you. This includes home instruction and limitations. The post x-rays are analyzed and compared to your original films. All patients will have a 24 or 48 hour follow up appointment scheduled.

A customized treatment schedule will be outlined by Dr. Perrino after the first correction.
