Brief Paperwork
Upon entering Pura Vida Chiropractic, you will have some brief paperwork to fill out which will help us gain some information about yourself and your condition. You can download these forms to fill out prior to entering the office.

Consultation
Once the paperwork is complete you will sit down with Dr. Rebecca Heidelberger D.C. and she will then ask some specific questions regarding your condition to determine if chiropractic care may be of benefit to you. You will discuss your health related problems, concerns as well as potential treatment options. If Dr. Rebecca Heidelberger can help you, she will let you know. If she cannot help you, you will be referred to another doctor in Denver who can help. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

Chiropractic Examination
After a thorough consultation in our Washington Park office with Dr. Rebecca Heidelberger, she will do a series of test to determine what your actual problem is. You will have a complete chiropractic examination. This will include testing of your reflexes, your ability to bend and turn, standard orthopedic, neurologic, postural and physical tests. These specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent. This information will help the doctor gain a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you. If necessary, the doctor may take x-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures.

X-rays
X-rays are sometimes required to get a full evaluation of your condition. They may be needed to either rule out more serious conditions or assist in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. The need for x-rays is considered on a case by case basis.

Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, the doctor will give you a report of findings and tell you recommendations for treatment.

Treatment
Most of our patients begin to see results from the very first adjustment. Our special gentle yet effective alignment of the body is interactive with the patient, gentle enough for kids, yet able to restore function and movement for the athlete and senior.

Home Instructions
Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be done at home or throughout the day. This may include ice or heat instruction, avoiding certain activities or positions as well as exercises and/or stretches.
