What to Expect

  CONSULTATION
  On your first visit to our office, the doctor will sit down with you to
  discuss your health concerns or problems. This information will
  help in determining what course of examinations to take with
  your case.



   X-RAY EVALUATION
  If necessary, X-rays can be taken and developed in our office.
  X-rays allow us to fully understand your problem and enable us
  to explain the problem to you more easily. These films help
  determine the health of your spine, alignment, and degeneration.
  With this information the doctor will be able to determine more
  exactly what is causing your problem and what it will take to
  correct it.

   CHIROPRACTIC EXAM
  The doctor will perform the appropriate orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic testing. Because
  your posture is a window to your spine, a thorough postural analysis will be done as well as range of
  motion testing. The doctor will check your spine for proper function and show you areas of
  displacements or subluxations. The purpose of the examination is to determine if your case can be
  accepted and care can be beneficial to you.

   REPORT OF FINDINGS
   

During the report the Doctor will go over the findings from your examination and testing and let you know if your case can be accepted for care. He will thoroughly explain any X-rays and findings and take as much time as you need to answer any questions or concerns. The doctor will let you know how long it will take to correct your problem, how often he will need to see you and how much money it may cost. At this time your doctor will go over his best recommendations with you.
  • Relief Care- the first phase of care focused on getting rid of pain.
  • Corrective Care- phase where we continue care to further correct your problem. During this phase, you are pain free, but continuing to work toward permanent correction and improve your body's function.
  • Maintenance Care- is when the problem has been corrected and the focus becomes maintaining results and further prevention. Maintenance is different for everyone.

The type of care you decide is up to you. The doctor's goal is to provide you with the information
you need to make the best decisions for your own personal health care.
