Initial Chiropractic Exam & Adjustment
Your first chiropractic visit takes about 45 minutes. Dr. Koh starts with your health history and a conversation about your goals. Next comes a physical exam, including posture and range-of-motion checks. Range of motion is how far a joint can comfortably move. If it’s appropriate, he’ll adjust you and plan next steps together.
Clients often come to him for neck, back and hip pain, headaches and sciatica. Sciatica is pain that travels from the low back down the leg. Dr. Koh’s techniques include Diversified, Gonstead, Activator and Active Release Technique. These are different styles of adjustment and soft-tissue work. He’ll explain what he recommends before he starts.

Follow-Up Chiropractic Adjustment
Follow-up visits take about 20 minutes and build on the plan from your first visit. Dr. Koh does targeted adjustments, focused on the areas you’ve talked about. He may add soft-tissue work, which means hands-on work on your muscles. You’ll also leave with simple at-home exercise or habit tips.
How often should you come back? It varies from person to person. Dr. Koh suggests a plan after your first visit and talks it through with you. Tell him how you’ve felt since your last visit, so he can shape the session around it.
Chiropractic Add-Ons
Add-ons let you add a little extra to your chiropractic visit. You choose them from the add-on list when you book online. Each one is optional, and none of them is required for an adjustment. Dr. Koh can help you decide what fits. Here’s what’s on the list:
- Theragun: a percussive massage device uses quick, pulsing taps on tight muscles before or after your adjustment.
- Extra soft-tissue time: about 10 extra minutes of hands-on muscle work.
- CBD lotion: applied to targeted areas for comfort and relaxation (contains trace amounts of THC). Skip it if you’re drug tested.
- Moist heat packs: warmth to help your muscles relax.
- Muscle scraping: instrument-assisted soft-tissue work, where a smooth tool glides over tight areas.
- Kinesiology taping: stretchy tape, such as RockTape, for support between visits.

Chiropractic FAQs
What should I expect at my first chiropractic visit?
Your first visit takes about 45 minutes and starts with a conversation. Dr. Koh reviews your health history and asks about your goals. Then he does a physical exam, including posture and range-of-motion checks. If an adjustment is appropriate, he’ll do one. You’ll finish with a plan for next steps, so you know what comes after.
Will a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most people feel little discomfort during an adjustment. Some feel mild soreness afterward, but not everyone does. Dr. Koh explains what he’s doing before he starts. If anything feels uncomfortable, tell him right away. He can change his approach or use a different technique. You’re always in charge of what feels right for your body.
How many chiropractic visits will I need?
It varies from person to person, so there’s no set number. After your first visit, Dr. Koh suggests a plan based on your exam and your goals. Follow-up visits take about 20 minutes. You can talk through the plan with him at any point and change it as your needs change.
Do I need X-rays or a doctor’s referral?
No, you don’t need X-rays or a doctor’s script to book. X-rays are not done here. If Dr. Koh thinks you need imaging, he’ll refer you out to have it done. Most clients simply book online and come in for their first visit.
Do you take insurance for chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care at Hand In Health is self-pay. We accept HSA and FSA cards. We also provide superbills on request. A superbill is a detailed receipt you can send to your insurance company to seek reimbursement. Whether your plan pays you back depends on your plan, so check with your insurer first.
What should I wear to a chiropractic visit?
Comfortable clothes you can move in usually work best. Dr. Koh will check your posture and how your joints move, so stretchy, easy clothing helps. Think workout clothes or something relaxed. If you’re adding kinesiology taping, clothing that gives easy access to the area is a good idea too.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give us at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged 100% of the service. No-call/no-shows are also charged 100%. Arriving 15 or more minutes late counts as a no-show. If plans change, let us know as early as you can.
