What to Expect as a New Patient
We know that visiting a chiropractor for the first time comes with questions. At Avalon Chiropractic Healing Center, our goal is to eliminate any uncertainty before you even walk through our doors. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted warmly by our front desk team who are ready to assist you. We encourage new patients to complete their intake forms in advance — you can download and print them from our Online Forms page and return them via fax or bring them to your appointment.
During your initial consultation, one of our experienced doctors — Dr. Jua E. Pak, DC, or Dr. Andrew Lind, DC & ESQ — will take time to listen to your health history, discuss your concerns, and conduct a thorough evaluation. This may include postural analysis, orthopedic testing, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays when clinically appropriate. We believe in understanding the full picture before recommending any course of care.
After your evaluation, your doctor will walk you through their findings and present a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and goals. Whether you’re coming in for relief from chronic back pain, recovering from an auto accident injury, managing a work injury, or simply looking to optimize your overall wellness, we have the tools and expertise to help.
Our Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
At Avalon Chiropractic Healing Center, we treat every patient as a whole person — not just a set of symptoms. Our integrative approach draws from advanced chiropractic care, holistic medicine, and functional medicine to address the root causes of your pain and support lasting healing. We are proud to be the only Excite Medical DRX9000-certified practice in the desert community, offering cutting-edge non-surgical spinal decompression for patients with disc-related conditions.
We also offer flexible payment options so cost is never a barrier to getting the care you need. Our team is here to help you understand your insurance benefits and explore all available options.
