Total Health Evaluation: The Initial Visit
A tailored functional evaluation focusing on your brain & nervous system
This is where it all starts. This evaluation helps us understand how you respond to stress, what your goals are and what you’ll need to get there. We view you as a whole person, so we want to know about more than your average doctor.
Here’s a snapshot of what to expect during your first visit with Dr. Joe:
-
Health Story
A holistic application requires looking at every piece. Together, we will consider all parts of your life that contributed to your current experience including stressors & traumas; both big & small.
-
Posture Assessment
How you hold yourself is important. More than just an indicator of physical & emotional stress, your posture is a window into how your brain communicates with your body.
-
Muscle Testing
How quickly can your body respond to resistance and in what capacity? We check for balanced coordination of muscles to ensure a strong connection in your body.
-
Breath Analysis
There are only two constants in life. Change and your breath. You breathe upwards of 20,000 times each day. We coach you through breathing standards to ensure the quality of your most basic function.
-
Eye Exam
Your eyes can tell us a lot about your brain. After all, they are the only part of your body that is both considered part of your brain and is situated outside of the cranium.
-
Chiropractic Testing
We have a unique approach to understanding how your nervous system is functioning. The tone of your body is assessed for balance and imbalance to better understand you. Where do you hold excess tension? What do you need to process and integrate that tension?

INSiGHT Scores
Our state-of-the-art scanning technology provides us with a status report of how your nervous system is functioning. Your nervous system is THE foundation of your health, yet is often overlooked.
Now that we know how you are interpreting your experience, let your body speak for itself.

Total Health Evaluation
If you’re new to Rhythm, start here! You will spend ~60 minutes with Dr. Joe to gain a holistic understanding of your experience. Once we have the big picture of your current experience mapped out, we begin the work of helping your mind & body find your rhythm.
-
Chiropractic Care
Offering neurologically focused chiropractic care means prioritizing the areas of the body that have the most influence on the rest. This means starting with the Upper Cervical Spine and establishing balance there first, giving the rest of your body a chance to reorganize accordingly. Then we bring focus to the rest of the body.
-
Movement Coaching
Gain trust in the way you move your body. Move past a “bum knee” that limits your activity. Reclaim the fundamental right you have in human movement and express your health.
