What to Expect
1st visit takes 45 minutes to an hour.
During your first visit with us, you’ll:
- meet with Dr. Robinson to discuss your health history so he can get a complete assessment of your current symptoms and lifestyle,
- have a full body scan using the Insight™ Millennium technology. These scans detect and pinpoint abnormal function in the spine that cannot be seen with an x-ray as well as detecting any nerve interference. We may also perform a biomechanical scan which includes posture analysis and muscle strength/weakness testing,
- perhaps perform your sport or activity while Dr. Robinson evaluates your body function,
- receive your first chiropractic treatment.
To minimize the amount of time you need to spend with us the first time, download forms and fill them out prior to your first visit.
2nd visit takes 30 to 45 minutes.
During your second visit to our office, you’ll:
- have another one-on-one meeting with Dr. Robinson to discuss his findings. You’ll be given a color print out of all scans and recommended treatment plans,
- receive your first full chiropractic adjustment as well as any soft tissue work, therapies, or exercises that Dr. Robinson feels is necessary to get you out of any immediate discomfort you may have so your long-term health plan can begin.
Because Chiropractic Care can have such a positive and dramatic effect on your life, we strongly recommend the spouse, partner, or parent of a minor be present for this meeting so that all parties hear the same thing at the same time and can ask any questions that may arise.
Routine visits average 10-20 minutes.
If exercises, massage therapy or reexams are needed, you’ll be notified that extra time is needed.
Every 12 visits you get a rescan with the Insight™ Millennium.
By performing the Insight™ Millennium tests every 12 to 14 visits, we can scientifically determine, and you can visually see, the progress you’ve made during the past 12 visits. Repeat testing also allows us to make sure you’re getting just the right amount of care for your body to function at its highest level. Another treatment plan is created after this scan.

General rehab/sports injury rehab
Whether your injury is due to repetitive motions from computer work, a car or work accident, or is a sports-related injury, most patients greatly benefit from rehabilitative exercises. These exercises focus on the four cornerstones of rehabilitation: flexibility, strength, cardiovascular fitness and balance. Performing your prescribed exercises, as well as general wellness exercises, help recreate your healthy body. Exercises are usually most beneficial once the aggravated area is no longer inflamed and problematic so you may not be given exercises for several visits.
Nutritional Supplements & Body Composition testing
We carry only a few well-researched products: probiotics, omega 3 and 6 oils, protein, green and fruit mixes. We believe in creating health through nutrition, not taking a bunch of individual supplements that treat only one cause. Items we recommend for our patients include a hormone-free whey protein powder to which you can add either a concentrated fruit or green powder. They’re easy and great tasting. Two supplements that humans today don’t get enough of through our modern diets are probiotics and omega 3 and 6 via fish oil.
This body composition software program measures your fat to lean muscle tissue ratio and tells you how much fat you need to lose or gain in order to be in a healthy range. This program also allows us to input your current food intake and exercise level to determine how many calories you should be consuming and how much exercise you should be doing in order to reach and maintain your ideal amount of body fat.

Our Treatment Objectives
Resolve your acute condition so you can begin the road to wellness.
Our first treatment objective is to quickly resolve whatever condition ails you so you are pain-free and can then focus on your overall health and wellness. Removing the problems that caused your symptoms is our immediate, short-term goal. During this phase of your healing, Dr. Robinson often recommends a treatment plan of 2-3 treatments a week for 12-36 visits depending on the severity of the problem.
h4. Note: you may notice significant pain reduction in just 2 to 5 visits. That doesn’t mean the issue has been completely resolved; it just means your symptoms aren’t as obvious. Symptoms are the last to show and the first to go. Don’t be lured into thinking a condition that has been present for months or even years will be completely cured in 2 or 3 visits.
Discuss long-term treatment plans to resolve chronic issues.
Many chronic conditions require long-term treatment plans with frequent visits to get the problem under control. Compare chiropractic adjustments to wearing dental braces. Straighter teeth require fewer visits to the dentist and less time wearing the braces while teeth with more issues require many trips to the dentist and many years of wearing the braces. In other words, correcting a long-term problem doesn’t generally happen overnight.
Chronic issues may require longer treatment plans that continue at 2-3 visits per week. However, once the issue has begun resolving, the frequency of treatment can quite often lessen. Maintaining a long-term chiropractic treatment plan and a healthy lifestyle helps ensure your problems do not return.
Discuss life-time care to maintain a healthy body and to prevent injuries.
Once you’re functioning at as close to optimum level as possible, you want to continue monthly or bi-monthly treatments to maintain your current healthy condition. Once or twice a month chiropractic adjustments are ‘tune-ups’ for your body. Your car gets a regular tune-up, why shouldn’t you get better care than your car?
Provide you with a rehabilitative strategy so your condition doesn’t return & your body functions at a higher level.
Most patients at ProHealth Chiropractic are given appropriate rehabilitative exercises at some point during their treatment plans. On occasion, your rehab exercises won’t begin until the injured tissue is restructured and the spinal system is recovering – which is usually after the first 12 – 24 visits. At this point in time, your exercises focus on proper movement patterns to rebuild strength and flexibility. This segment of treatment is critical to ensure and maintain a healthy, mobile, injury-free future. In most cases, patients with active lifestyles and intense, athletic training schedules will be able to continue these, though they may need to reduce, modify or supplement their work-out routines for a while.
Discuss proper nutrition & detoxification to further aid in healing.
Diet is an important issue. Poor dietary habits lead to toxic overload on the system which impairs healing. The body cannot return to its natural, healthy state if beneficial nutrients aren’t being ingested and properly absorbed.
