Reception

A Warm Welcome

Our front desk team handles paperwork, insurance questions and scheduling before you even sit down, so your visit starts smoothly instead of with a clipboard in a waiting room.

Exam & Consultation

Your Exam, Explained

New patients sit down with Dr. Fico for a real conversation, not a rushed once-over. When X-rays are needed, they are taken and reviewed together, right on the screen, before any care plan is discussed.

Chiropractic Care

Hands-On Adjustments

Corrective chiropractic adjustments are the foundation of care here, precise and hands-on, tailored to what your exam and X-rays actually show rather than a one-size-fits-all routine.

DRX9000 Non-Surgical Decompression

For disc-related pain, our dedicated DRX9000 suite gently decompresses the spine without surgery, one of the more advanced tools in Dr. Fico’s non-surgical toolkit.

What To Expect On Your First Visit

A first visit at Strand Spine Institute isn’t about jumping straight into treatment. It’s about finding out exactly what’s going on with a thorough history, a hands-on exam, and, when it’s called for, a look at your X-rays, so any care that follows is based on what we actually find rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. Here’s what to expect, step by step.

  • Complete New-Patient PaperworkPlan to arrive about ten minutes early so you can fill out your history and get settled before we call you back.
  • Exam & Consultation FirstYour first visit is entirely about assessment, not treatment. We listen to your history and examine you thoroughly before deciding on anything.
  • Digital X-Rays, If NeededWhen it’s clinically indicated, we take digital X-rays right on site so Dr. Fico can see exactly what your spine is doing.
  • One-on-One Report of FindingsYou’ll sit down with Dr. Fico himself to go over what he found and what, if anything, he recommends for your care.
  • Plan for About 45 MinutesThe initial visit typically runs about 45 minutes, enough time to be examined thoroughly without feeling rushed.

There’s no pressure to start care on day one. If we can help, we’ll tell you exactly how, and if we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you that too.
