Your first visit at Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness in Minneapolis

Your first visit

What to expect

  1. Step 1

    Warm welcome

    We greet you, get a little history, and make sure you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.

  2. Step 2

    Consultation & exam

    We listen to your story and perform a thorough exam to find the root cause of your pain.

  3. Step 3

    Clear plan

    We explain what we found in plain language and recommend a specific, time-bound care plan.

  4. Step 4

    First adjustment

    When clinically appropriate, you may receive your first adjustment the same day.

Your findings and care plan are built on Dr. Olson's Comprehensive Treatment Approach (CTA) — pairing chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitation, spinal decompression, massage, and shockwave therapy so your care fits your body, not a template.

Reviews

What our patients say

“I had a wonderful experience at Nokomis Chiropractic & Wellness! The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and caring. They took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. I really appreciated the personalized care and attention to detail.”

“I had never been to a chiropractor before, and I’m very glad I came here. Dr. Olson and his team are very welcoming and professional and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. My sciatic nerve pain was horrible and constant before I came in. After a mix of daily stretching, the very effective decompression machine, and adjustments, I’m in a much better place and able to enjoy life without pain again. I would definitely recommend.”

“Rachael, Jess, and Dr. Olson are welcoming and friendly! Dr. Olson provides a comprehensive, approachable care plan. From moderate spinal adjustments, to the decompression table, and finally "the big pull," supported by an at-home exercise regimen to reinforce progress, I feel completely taken care of. I've already seen major improvements in my neck and back pain and have no doubt those will continue.”

“I came here after a car accident and have had a great experience. Rachel and Jessika are warm and welcoming, and Dr. Olson takes the time to explain my treatment and listen to my concerns. I’ve felt comfortable and heard, and they even referred me to a great legal team to help me through the process. Everyone has been kind and supportive. I highly recommend!”

“I’ve been a patient there for a few years. The staff there has always been very friendly. Adjustments have always been helpful. I will always go there when my body tells me it’s time.”
JG J Goettl Verified review · Google
“I was so nervous about picking a chiropractor because I’ve never been. I was in a car accident and picked here based on reviews and they weren’t wrong. Dr. Olson always takes his time with me and answers all my questions and never makes me feel rushed. Every single person who works here is so friendly and I don’t regret this decision and recommend highly!!!!”

New patient FAQs

What does the new patient special include?+

Your new patient special ($17) covers your initial consultation, a comprehensive exam, any X-rays we determine are needed, your report of findings, and — when clinically appropriate — your first adjustment. We review everything with you before any treatment begins.

What should I bring to my first visit?+

Bring your ID and insurance card (if you're using insurance), and wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Arrive a few minutes early to complete your intake paperwork — or fill it out ahead of time if we send it over.

How long is the first appointment?+

Plan for about 45–60 minutes so we have time for a complete consultation, exam, and — when appropriate — your first treatment the same day.

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?+

For most people, no. Adjustments are precise and many patients feel relief right away. You may hear a soft "pop" as pressure releases from a joint — that's normal and not painful. We tailor every technique to your comfort and explain what we're doing first.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?+

No. Minnesota is a direct-access state, so you can book with us without a referral from your physician. If your specific insurance plan requires one, we'll help you sort it out.

Is chiropractic care safe?+

Yes. Chiropractic is a widely recognized, conservative, drug-free approach for many musculoskeletal conditions. After your exam we'll flag anything outside our scope and refer you to the right provider when that's the better path.

Do you take insurance?+

We accept many major plans and also offer affordable self-pay options. Send us your insurance details and we'll verify your benefits before your visit — no surprises.

Can I use my HSA or FSA?+

Yes — chiropractic care is typically an eligible HSA/FSA expense. We accept HSA/FSA cards along with all major credit cards and cash.

How many visits will I need?+

It depends on your condition, how long it's been going on, and your goals. After your exam we recommend a specific, time-bound care plan and explain the reasoning — there's no open-ended commitment.

Can children and pregnant patients be seen?+

Yes. We offer specialized care for kids and expecting moms, with techniques always adapted to be safe and comfortable for every stage.

You can also complete your patient intake forms online before your visit, and see our full insurance and payment options.
