Visiting Our Tarzana and Westlake Village
Chiropractic Practices

It is important to us that you feel welcomed and comfortable in our office.

We want to get to know you and build a successful relationship that will go the distance. Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, this relationship is the foundation to excellent care we provide.

We explain everything in advance. The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you’ll enjoy. Education is a major part of your visits with us. It’s as simple as that.

Please read about your chiropractic visits here. Then, contact us to make an appointment so we can get to know you.

First Visit. To find out if we can help you, we ask questions and listen.

Second Visit. We’ll report what we found and answer all your questions.

Regular Visit. A typical visit will be much shorter, but just as important!

Your First Chiropractic Visit

Your first visit At Active Care Chiropractic is greeted with a warm smile and an introduction to the office. You'll fill out a few simple forms, watch a short film on who we are, and then you're back seeing the doctor. A comprehensive exam is performed to determine the extent of the problem or problems. Posture is checked, and range of motion is evaluated. Palpation is performed and surface EMG and Thermography are used. If necessary, X-rays will be taken to further explore the problem. First aid care is given if needed.

Your Second Visit

Upon arriving on your second visit. You will be given your report of findings, both written and orally from Dr. Wogahn. The doctor will establish what is wrong, how he will go about changing it for the better, what length of time it will take to start feeling better and what the cost of the care will be.

A Typical Office Visit

On every visit, there will be a mini check taken and an adjustment will be administered. Physiotherapy in the form of exercises, stretches, ice massage, and/or heat will be give if necessary. Time in the office can be as little as 5 or 10 minutes or as long as 30 to 45 minutes depending on your presenting complaints. The desire is to bring the human condition to a higher level of health and harmony.
