Our Process

What to expect as a new patient:

1. We listen.
   We’ll understand your history, symptoms, and concerns.
2. We evaluate.
   Through a detailed physical exam and imaging (if needed), we find the source of your pain.
3. We treat.
   You receive a personalized care plan and start treatment right away.

We guide.
From paperwork to follow‑up, we’ll be with you at every step.

Our clinic offers a rapid, accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan combined with home treatment and education for pain relief so you can safely resume your activities.

You can trust our team to define the precise terms of your needs and create a treatment program that supports it.

No matter your age, lifestyle, or current ability level, we’re confident we can get your spine healthy so you can move and live in comfort.

New patients should plan on at least an hour for the initial examination. They are asked a series of questions to fully understand their health, history, current pain points, and lifestyle. A thorough evaluation will be provided to determine the nature and extent of the injury.

If clinically necessary, imaging such as an x-ray or MRI will be ordered to reach an accurate diagnosis. Some spine conditions require a team approach. At Twin Cities Headache Neck & Back, we will co-manage with appropriate medical specialists in neurology, pain management, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, and other fields.

Dr. Collins understands the importance of correct and thorough treatment and will ensure each patient is educated regarding their condition and recovery plan. We don’t just cover up pain; we locate the pain generators and create a tailored approach to your care.

Our process is comprehensive and methodical. After taking your health history into account, your chiropractor will perform a detailed physical exam using orthopedic, neurological, and musculoskeletal examination testing. We will manually feel your spine and joints and measure your range of motion.

Based on the symptoms and examination, the injuries may require imaging, such as a plain film X-ray or MRI, in order to fully visualize the nature and extent of tissue damage.

Twin Cities Headache Neck & Back is a safe, nurturing environment, and we’ve been honored to be trusted by the St. Paul community to reach numerous health goals.
