First Visit
At Bergtold Chiropractic Naples Florida, we make sure your first visit is seamless, informative, and entirely focused on addressing the root of your concerns. Here’s what you can expect when you walk through our doors.

Consultation
You’ll sit down with Dr. James Bergtold, DC, for a meaningful conversation about what’s going on with your body. This isn’t a quick, routine chat, we take time to understand your concerns, previous treatments, and health goals to build a complete picture of your needs.
History and Examination
We perform a thorough examination tailored to your condition. This may include assessments of range of motion, muscle strength, nerve function, and orthopedic testing. Every detail helps us design an effective and personalized care plan.
X-ray Studies
Most patients will receive X-rays to provide a clearer view of their spinal structure. If needed, we may recommend an MRI or refer you for additional imaging. The goal is to achieve a precise diagnosis to guide your treatment.
Same-Day Treatment
In many cases, treatment can begin the same day. Whether it’s a chiropractic adjustment, decompression therapy, or soft wave therapy, we aim to provide immediate relief and begin your path toward long-term healing.
Home Instructions
Before you leave, we’ll provide specific instructions to support your recovery between visits. These may include stretches, ice or heat therapy, posture tips, or activity modifications to prevent further strain.
Schedule Your Next Appointment
Your second visit brings everything together. We’ll review your test results, connect findings from your X-rays and physical exam, and outline a customized treatment plan. We recommend bringing a spouse or support person, as having another set of ears can be helpful.
We believe in lasting solutions, not temporary fixes. Your first visit is the beginning of your journey toward living pain-free and thriving in everything you do.
