New Patients at Nova Spine & Knee Center
As chiropractors in Annandale we want all of our patients to feel immediately at home when they walk in the door. Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important for you to feel comfortable right from the start. Read below to find out what to expect at your visits to Nova Spine & Knee Center.
Your Visits to Our Annandale Practice
When you enter our office, you will be greeted by our receptionist. We will need to make a copy of your driver’s license or a valid state ID along with any insurance cards you might have. If you are here because of a vehicle accident a copy of the report may be necessary.
After that is completed, you will be given our office forms to complete, or you can download and print your new patient forms ahead of time and bring them with you. You will then have an opportunity to consult with Dr. Reza Nikpour to discuss any health issues or goals you might have.

What to Expect During Your Visit
Your Chiropractic Examination
After your consultation we will complete a generalized physical examination. This can include a series of test done to determine the root cause of their chief complaint. X-rays will be taken if needed.
Your Diagnosis
After the examination, Dr. Nikpour will review the x-rays, lab diagnostics, and neurodiagnostics. He will discuss his findings with you and explain his treatment plan. We encourage you to ask any questions you might have about your treatment plan at this time.
In some cases, your treatment may begin at this initial visit. The doctor will discuss your options with you prior to beginning your treatment.
Subsequent Visits
Simply sign in and have a seat. You’ll be taken to our treatment area once a therapy room becomes available. If you were referred for additional testing, Dr. Reza will review the results with you before proceeding with treatment.
A regular office visit to Nova Spine & Knee Center can be quick! They generally take about 20-30 minutes depending on your treatment.
Aftercare
While you may experience some mild soreness (similar to what you’d feel after a workout), most patients notice decreased tension in their muscles and joints, along with improved freedom of movement.
How Long Will Visits Be?
- New Patients: If you are a cash-paying patient or have insurance please allow 45 minutes to 1 hour for your initial appointment.
- Personal Injury or Workers Comp Cases: Please allow 1 – 2 hours for your initial appointment (generally, it may take an ample amount of time to complete the paperwork)
Success Stories
Our treatment approaches have transformed countless lives. Among our most notable success stories are a mother and son who both received decompression treatments. The son, who was struggling with work and daily activities due to back pain, experienced such significant improvement that he has remained a loyal patient for over ten years. His mother was scheduled for a total knee replacement but was able to avoid surgery entirely after completing our knee decompression program.
