New Patients Welcome in Louisville, KY
Starting care at a new chiropractic office can feel uncertain, especially if you’ve never experienced chiropractic before. At Family Care Chiropractic in Louisville, KY, we work hard to make every new patient feel at ease from the very first phone call. Dr. Lansing takes the time to get to know you, understand your condition, and build a care plan around your individual needs and goals. Call us at (502) 231-3000 — we’d love to help you feel better.
What to Expect as a New Patient
Your first visit to Family Care Chiropractic is designed to be thorough, informative, and comfortable. From the moment you arrive, our friendly front desk team will greet you and help you get settled. You’ll complete a brief set of new patient intake forms that give Dr. Lansing important context about your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Taking the time to fill these out carefully helps Dr. Lansing understand the full picture of your health from the start.
After your paperwork is complete, you’ll have a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Lansing. This is your opportunity to explain what you’ve been experiencing — where the pain is, how long it’s been present, what makes it better or worse, and what you’re hoping to achieve through chiropractic care. Dr. Lansing is a thorough, attentive listener, and there are no wrong questions or concerns too small to mention.
Following your consultation, Dr. Lansing will perform a comprehensive physical examination of your spine and musculoskeletal system. In most cases, he will also take X-rays on-site to get a precise look at your spinal alignment and structure. These images are reviewed with you directly, so you can see and understand exactly what Dr. Lansing is seeing. After your exam and imaging, Dr. Lansing will discuss his findings and outline a personalized treatment plan — and in many cases, your first treatment begins that same day.

Preparing for Your First Visit
To help your first appointment go smoothly, please bring your insurance card and a valid photo ID. If you have any prior imaging related to your condition — X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans — please bring those as well. If your visit is related to an auto accident or personal injury, bring any relevant accident reports or insurance information. Arriving a few minutes early gives you time to complete your paperwork without feeling rushed. Visit our payment options page for information about insurance and accepted payment methods, and our what to expect and your first visit pages for a full walkthrough of the new patient experience.
Frequently Asked Questions for New Patients in Louisville
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Lansing?
No referral is needed. You can contact Family Care Chiropractic directly at (502) 231-3000 to schedule your first appointment. Chiropractic care is a primary healthcare service, meaning you can seek it out on your own without a referral from another provider.
What should I wear to my first chiropractic appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Avoid heavy belts or restrictive clothing that might interfere with your examination or treatment. You’ll likely need to bend, twist, and lie down during your exam, so comfort is key.
Will I receive treatment on my very first visit?
In most cases, yes. After your consultation, examination, and X-rays, Dr. Lansing will discuss his findings and your treatment options with you. If everything is appropriate, he will typically begin your first treatment during that same visit. Some cases may require additional review before treatment begins, which Dr. Lansing will explain to you clearly.
How long will my first appointment take?
New patient appointments are generally longer than follow-up visits to allow time for paperwork, consultation, examination, and imaging. Plan to spend approximately one hour at our office for your first visit. Follow-up appointments are typically shorter once your care plan is established.
What if I’ve never had chiropractic care before?
That’s completely fine — many of our patients are first-time chiropractic patients. Dr. Lansing is experienced at putting new patients at ease, explaining exactly what he is doing and why, and using gentle, appropriate techniques. He will answer any questions you have and make sure you are comfortable before beginning any treatment.
Does Family Care Chiropractic treat children?
Yes. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for patients of all ages, including children. Dr. Lansing uses age-appropriate techniques for younger patients and takes an especially gentle approach. Parents often bring their children in for issues such as postural concerns, sports injuries, and general wellness care.
What if I need emergency chiropractic care?
Please call our office at (502) 231-3000 as soon as possible. We will make every effort to accommodate urgent or emergency cases promptly. If you have been in an auto accident or sustained a sudden injury, don’t wait — early intervention is the most important factor in a full recovery.
