What To Expect
Initial Consultation 60-90min
At your initial consultation, we will get to know each other. I will ask questions related to your current set of concerns, your body as a whole, past medical history, diet, lifestyle and mental/emotional health. I will also decide if any additional laboratory testing is necessary. Updated bloodwork is always recommended to gather a baseline for treatment. The goal of this process is to gather information, to educate you on the self-healing process and to explain how I can serve as a guide and teacher.
Report of Findings 45-60min
At your first follow-up appointment, we will go through your labs alongside your subjective intake, taking the time to explain what each result means and how it is related to your health concern. A treatment plan will be presented including lifestyle and dietary modifications, supplements to aid your body in healing, and any additional recommended testing if needed. The length of your treatment plan depends on the status of your health.
Follow-up Appointments 15, 30 or 60-min
During your treatment plan, we advise you to schedule 15-minute appointments to check-in with how things are going for you to make sure you are successful on your journey. This can be in person or online via Zoom. We will also suggest incorporating physical medicine into your plan as a whole-body approach to healing. Chiropractic is fundamental to a well-functioning nervous system, allowing all bodily processes to work at their best, meaning you’ll feel better quicker. Plan for a 30-60 minute appointment for both physical medicine and nutritional check-in’s in-office. Together, we will review your progress to date from the initial visit.
There are no required minimum # of visits. Each patient is different, requiring an individualized care plan. Our goal is to guide you along your health journey, putting the power into your hands to be the master of your own health.
Recommendations
Lab Testing
Dr. Popp will utilize advanced lab testing, going above and beyond what is offered at conventional practices.
Nutritional Planning
After evaluating your current diet, Dr. Popp will recommend nutritional modifications and educate you on how to make dietary changes.
Supplemental Review
Dr. Popp bases her herbal and nutritional supplement recommendations on both subjective (what is discussed) and objective (labs, imaging, and diagnostic studies) evidence. Sometimes, there are certain herbs, nutrients or other natural therapies that stand out after an initial discussion that can be implemented right away. Other times, Dr. Popp finds it best to order labs or other outside evaluation before proceeding with extra supplement suggestions.
Lifestyle Modification
Includes exercise and mind-body therapies
Referrals
If through the course of the initial discussion Dr. Popp finds that you could benefit from an evaluation from a specialist or other healthcare provider, she will provide referral information
