Your First Visit to Our Denton Practice

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

New patients often remark how “homey” our office is. That’s good, because our goal is to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care in a comfortable surrounding.

Make Yourself at Home

You’ll find plenty of convenient parking and a well-lit parking lot. Come in the front door of the building and turn right to get to the elevator; we're on the 2nd floor. You’ll be greeted by name when you enter our office and given a short tour (if you're not in too much pain) to get you acquainted with our facilities.

If you’ve already completed your admitting paperwork, great! If not, after doing so you’ll meet Dr. Vince Baugher.

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.

Denton chiropractic patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!

Consultation

The purpose of our initial consultation is for us to get to know each other.

We Listen

During a brief conversation and review of your health history, we try to determine if you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care and/or spinal decompression. We’ll ask a few questions and do a lot of listening.

A Partnership

The consultation also gives you an opportunity to tour our office, interview Dr. Baugher and learn a bit more about chiropractic. Since ours is a partnership approach to better health, it’s important that you’re comfortable with the personalities, procedures and policies of our office. The consultation is a great way to find that out.

What to Bring

If you have any fairly recent X-rays or MRIs, those could be useful. For the X-rays, Dr. Baugher really likes to see the films themselves. If it's an MRI or CT scan, usually the written report is sufficient.

What to Wear

For your greatest comfort and convenience, you can wear loose, comfortable clothing (versus mini-skirts or tight jeans). For women, sports bras and elastic pants can prevent you from having to change for any X-rays we may take. But also feel free to just come as you are--we can work with any type of clothing.

The Next Step

If we don’t think we can help, we’ll tell you. If we think we can help, and you agree, we can usually proceed to the next step, which is a thorough examination. Our patients appreciate the fact that we explain everything in advance!

Examination

If our consultation suggests that you’d likely be helped with chiropractic care, we’ll need to perform a complete examination. Our patients often comment on how thorough our examination is, compared with other practitioners they’ve consulted.

Our examination varies based upon what we discover during the evaluation of your health history. What we find will tell us which examinations we need to conduct:

Orthopedic

These examinations test your ability to turn, bend and move key joints of your skeletal system through their expected range of motion.

Neurological

Depending on your condition, we’ll test your dermatomes, deep tendon reflexes, muscle strength and other aspects pointing to the health of your central nervous system.
