OSH Patient Resources
New Patients
Welcome to Optima Spine & Health! We're here to make your first visit as comfortable and straightforward as possible. Here's what you can expect:
Getting Started
Before your appointment, please complete our New Patient Intake Forms. This helps us understand your health history and current concerns, allowing us to tailor your care to your specific needs.
Your First Visit
Let's Talk
We'll begin with a conversation about your health concerns and goals. This helps us get to know you and understand how we can assist you.
Gentle Examination
Next, we'll perform a gentle examination, which may include checking your posture and how your body moves. If needed, we might suggest imaging to get a clearer picture of your spine's alignment.
Your First Adjustment
If it's appropriate, you'll receive your first adjustment during this visit. We use a gentle method focused on the upper neck area to help improve your overall spinal health and nervous system function. There's no twisting or cracking involved—just precise, comfortable care.
After Your Adjustment
We'll discuss what we found during your examination and how our approach can help you. We'll also talk about the next steps and answer any questions you have.

I had my first adjustment recently. I was a little scared, but it was gentle and comfortable. No cracking! I feel better than I have in months. I haven’t even had a migraine in 3 months! I’m sold!
