Your first visit
What to expect
Step 1
Warm welcome
We greet you, get a little history, and make sure you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.
Step 2
Consultation & exam
We listen to your story and perform a thorough exam to find the root cause of your pain.
Step 3
Clear plan
We explain what we found in plain language and recommend a specific, time-bound care plan.
Step 4
First adjustment
When clinically appropriate, you may receive your first adjustment the same day.
Your findings and care plan are built on Dr. Olson's Comprehensive Treatment Approach (CTA) — pairing chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitation, spinal decompression, massage, and shockwave therapy so your care fits your body, not a template.

“Sadly a car accident brought me here but because of that I am now a patient for life. Dr O, Rachel and Jessica make me look forward to every appointment. And when it comes to massage Melissa, Moe, Sarah, Heather and Olga are all amazing, I can’t decide who is the best and I look forward to every appointment. Everyone from the top down care about you and your care. 100/100 recommend.”

Your new patient special ($17) covers your initial consultation, a comprehensive exam, any X-rays we determine are needed, your report of findings, and — when clinically appropriate — your first adjustment. We review everything with you before any treatment begins.
What should I bring to my first visit?+
Bring your ID and insurance card (if you're using insurance), and wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Arrive a few minutes early to complete your intake paperwork — or fill it out ahead of time if we send it over.
How long is the first appointment?+
Plan for about 45–60 minutes so we have time for a complete consultation, exam, and — when appropriate — your first treatment the same day.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?+
For most people, no. Adjustments are precise and many patients feel relief right away. You may hear a soft "pop" as pressure releases from a joint — that's normal and not painful. We tailor every technique to your comfort and explain what we're doing first.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?+
No. Minnesota is a direct-access state, so you can book with us without a referral from your physician. If your specific insurance plan requires one, we'll help you sort it out.
Is chiropractic care safe?+
Yes. Chiropractic is a widely recognized, conservative, drug-free approach for many musculoskeletal conditions. After your exam we'll flag anything outside our scope and refer you to the right provider when that's the better path.
Do you take insurance?+
We accept many major plans and also offer affordable self-pay options. Send us your insurance details and we'll verify your benefits before your visit — no surprises.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?+
Yes — chiropractic care is typically an eligible HSA/FSA expense. We accept HSA/FSA cards along with all major credit cards and cash.
How many visits will I need?+
It depends on your condition, how long it's been going on, and your goals. After your exam we recommend a specific, time-bound care plan and explain the reasoning — there's no open-ended commitment.
Can children and pregnant patients be seen?+
Yes. We offer specialized care for kids and expecting moms, with techniques always adapted to be safe and comfortable for every stage.
