You'll meet the doctor after filling out some brief
paperwork describing you, your health history and your
health goals. We offer this initial consultation so
we can both get to know one another.
If you're a good candidate for chiropractic care and
we think we can help you, an examination follows. We'll
study the way you turn and bend. We may test your reflexes.
These and other physical, orthopedic and chiropractic
tests help us locate areas of your spine that could
be the cause of your problem. Our examinations are thorough
and will put you at ease.
We'll study the results and give you a complete report
of our findings. We'll show you what we found and the
conclusions we've reached. If we find that you'd benefit
from consulting a different practitioner, we'll make
the proper referral. Otherwise, we'll recommend a program
of specific chiropractic adjustments.
With a plan in place to fulfill your health goals,
future visits will take just minutes. The purpose of
these frequent visits will be to locate and reduce your
vertebral subluxations and monitor the healing process.
You join millions who have enjoyed better health--without
drugs or surgery. Welcome to our office!
Will I have to have X-rays?
X-rays and other types of images can be helpful. Pictures
of your spine, especially after trauma, can confirm
our other findings and make your care more precise.
We can tell if we need them after completing our other
examinations.
How long until I feel better?
Some patients experience almost instant relief. Others
discover it can take months, sometimes years. Every
patient recovers at their own pace. Factors which can
affect the healing process include your age, your overall
health condition, muscle tone, diet and even your attitude.
When will I get my first adjustment?
It depends upon your complaint and how long it may
take to study your examination findings. This is a clinical
decision and varies from patient to patient.
Will I receive any medication for my pain?
No. Chiropractic doctors don't dispense drugs. Because
we rely on natural methods, ask for directions on how
to use ice to control any painful symptoms. Ice, when
properly applied, can have an analgesic effect without
the side effects associated with pain medications.
