Quick answer: Your first visit at Divine Spine Millwoods takes about 45–60 minutes. Dr. Ali Jaffery will listen to what’s been bothering you, do a thorough physical assessment, and walk you through a clear, personalized plan — no pressure, no guesswork, and no commitment beyond that first appointment.

What happens at your first visit

When you arrive, you’ll complete a short health history form. From there, Dr. Jaffery will take time to understand your concern — not just the location of your pain, but how long it’s been there, what makes it better or worse, and how it’s affecting your daily life.

You’ll then go through a physical assessment that looks at your posture, range of motion, and spinal function. Where appropriate, a ProAdjuster scan may be used — a computerized spinal analysis tool that gives objective, measurable data about how your spine is functioning, so there’s no guessing about what’s happening or what needs attention.

What is the ProAdjuster?

The ProAdjuster is a computerized chiropractic instrument that analyzes spinal segments for areas of restriction. It measures the resonant frequency of each vertebra and identifies where the spine isn’t moving as it should. Many patients find it more comfortable than traditional manual adjusting — there’s no twisting, cracking, or sudden movements. The instrument delivers precise, gentle impulses to the specific areas that need attention.

What you’ll leave with

By the end of your first visit, you’ll have a clear picture of what’s going on and a specific plan of action. Dr. Jaffery will explain what he found, what’s driving your symptoms, and what a course of care might look like for your situation. You’re in control of the decisions from there.

What conditions do we commonly see?

The Millwoods clinic commonly assesses patients presenting with back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, and concerns following a motor vehicle accident. If you’re unsure whether your concern is something Dr. Jaffery can help with, reaching out to ask is always welcome.
