First Visit
What to expect
Step 1
New Patient Forms
First, when you arrive to our chiropractic office in Charlotte, we’ll ask you to fill out our new patient intake forms. This paperwork provides us basic information about you, as well as your medical history and a description of your condition. You can fill these forms out ahead of time by going here.
Step 2
Chiropractor Consultation
Next, you’ll have consult with Dr. Craig Schulman to chat about your health-related problems and concerns, as well as potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Craig Schulman to understand exactly where you are at with your health and provide a roadmap to get you feeling your absolute best.
Step 3
Chiropractic Exam
After your initial discussion, Dr. Craig Schulman will perform a complete chiropractic exam. This is to get hands-on and see exactly what is going on with your body currently. Nothing will be done without full explanation and your consent.
Step 4
Report of Findings
After the exam is completed and analyzed, Dr. Craig Schulman will give you a “report of all findings” that details everything discovered during the exam. After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Craig Schulman will discuss recommendations for your treatment in order to help get you to optimal health.
Step 5
Chiropractic Treatment
At the end of your first appointment, you can choose to experience your first chiropractic adjustment. This may include spinal adjustments, intersegmental traction, and/or spinal decompression. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.
Step 6
Custom Wellness Plan
After your first treatment, our team will determine if ongoing wellness and care will make sense for your health. These plans are designed to help maintain optimal health for your spine and your body. Keeping on top of your spine’s misalignments helps prevent future issues from arising and keeps you feeling great.
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, all-natural treatment option for dealing with all sorts of aches and pains that come from everyday life. Rather you’re currently experiencing chronic pain issues, or just want to live with optimal health, chiropractic care can help.
“I have endured an 18 year headache due to a car accident. I’ve visited multiple Chiropractors over the years with no change to my issue. I’m now seeing there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. The care that I am receiving is unmatched. I no longer have a constant headache. I recommend coming here for Chiropractic care if you desire to get better.”

“I found Dr. Schumann at the Taste of Charlotte a few weeks back, and it has completely turned everything around for the better. I have had chronic pain in my low back, hip, leg, and groin since November of 2025 (~7 months unresolved). I went to orthopedic doctors, physiologists, physical therapists and more in that time frame — no one was able to give me a concrete or definite source of my pain — if anything, I was thrown around a million different diagnoses and treatments. I’m a healthy, active 26 y/o and had no prior injury. Very quickly (when I say fast, I mean with scans evaluated during our FIRST consult) Dr. Schumann was able to identify that I’ve had a pinched nerve at my S1. I’ve been following his plan for the last two weeks and have already felt relief that I completely forgot exists. I can proudly say that I am no longer in chronic pain, while I experience minimal flares as we work to fully resolve the issue. I plan to continue treatment until my spine is realigned. Whether you’re in need of immediate relief, long term relief, or someone that will affirm you are not crazy and there is a source to your pain — Chiropractic Fitness is the place to go (and Dr. Schulman’s team is absolutely phenomenal and so helpful).”

“Great experience at this chiropractic clinic. The staff was friendly, the office was clean and organized, and the chiropractor took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt noticeable relief after just a few visits. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality care.”

“Thank you, Dr. Schulman, for helping me! Just a few short weeks ago, I was using a walker for the pain. Now, I’m not using a walker and I can even roll over! Amazing!”

“I had a severe neck/back fusion 8 years ago. If you ever contemplate spinal surgery, avoid it like the plague. The surgery was medically successful but now I am on permanent disability due to chronic pain from the surgery. I have done my due diligence for any kind of relief to no avail. This includes a 3.5 week pain rehab program at the Mayo clinic. Approx 2 weeks ago I was doing more research and came across a technique called Active Release Treatment which is directed at breaking up scar tissue which is what is causing 90% of my pain. I did more research which included talking to a friend who is a chiropractor and confirmed it is a treatment I should definitely try. I searched for doctors/clinics that offered this treatment as it requires certification to perform the treatment. I found Dr. Shulman online and did my research on his background. He has been practicing this for 13 years and all of his reviews were nothing but positive so I made an appointment. I have a very serious case which takes alot of treatment but at this point, all I can say is I wish I knew about this 8 years ago and my life would be so much better. I highly recommend seeing Dr Shulman if you are having any form of post spinal surgery muscular issues. Starting week 5 today and the amount of relief I have gotten is incredible. Dont pass this up it it describes your issues. BTW, he is a NY Giants and Yankees fan but I can't hold that against him. Lol.”
