New Patients at Ludwig Chiropractic
Getting started at Ludwig Chiropractic is simple and comfortable. From your very first phone call or walk-in visit, you’ll experience the warm, helpful atmosphere that makes our office feel like family. Whether you’re scheduling an appointment or simply asking questions, Dr. Ludwig is here to help you.
What sets us apart is our commitment to true Activator Methods chiropractic—a gentle, precise approach that lets your own nervous system show us exactly where and how to help you heal.
Your First Visit: A Personalized Experience
During your first visit, Dr. Ludwig will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and help you understand what makes our nervous-system-focused approach different from other offices in Bonney Lake. There’s no pressure; it’s simply an honest conversation about whether our care is right for you.
Your initial appointment typically takes about 30 minutes. It begins with a warm greeting at the front desk, completing any remaining paperwork, and scanning your ID and insurance card if needed. Then, you’ll move to the consultation room, where Dr. Ludwig reviews your health history and current concerns. He takes time to explain each exam and test beforehand, using clear analogies, like comparing your nervous system to cell phone signal bars, so you truly understand how chiropractic affects your whole body—not just neck and back concerns.
Understanding the Activator Method
During your treatment—what chiropractors typically call an adjustment—you will wear special flat-bottom shoes. These allow Dr. Ludwig to accurately assess leg length and detect nerve-related imbalances. Because precise leg-length analysis is important, patients remove their regular shoes and wear these instead.
You will then step onto a platform, and the adjusting table gently lowers you into position rather than requiring you to climb onto it. This helps ensure a more accurate leg-length check and is also especially helpful for patients who may be in pain or have difficulty getting onto a traditional table.
The Activator Method uses a gentle instrument that delivers a light, precise adjustment exactly where your body shows it is needed. You will lie comfortably face down while the table lowers smoothly with the push of a button. Dr. Ludwig then works from the knees upward—adjusting the pelvis and spine. If necessary, he will also assess the cranial bones and the TMJ.
